Catenaa, Wednesday, June 25, 2025- Chinese Premier Li Qiang said on Monday that China is committed to expanding and improving the business environment, and widening market access
In addressing the Shanghai symposium attended by representatives of exhibitors and buyers at the seventh China International Import Expo, Li said no matter how the international landscape evolves, China will open its door wider and wider.
He added that while the world was seeing a host of global trade frictions, China was positioned to “cross cycles, move forward steadily, and continue to inject more stability and certainty into the world economy.”
Li didn’t directly mention the Trump administration’s tariffs or Washington’s tech curbs but called for “all parties to avoid the politicization of economic and trade issues,” saying Beijing’s approach offered win-win outcomes.
He said that China has the ability to drive the sustained upturn of its economy, expand and upgrade its market, and provide enterprises from all countries with broader opportunities for trade expansion, investment growth and innovation applications.
Speaking of the country’s efforts to improve the business environment, Li said that the nation will focus on promptly addressing the concerns of enterprises, assisting them in resolving practical issues, and providing equal opportunities in terms of resource acquisition, qualification licensing and participation in government procurement.
Li expressed the hope that foreign-funded enterprises will continue to root themselves in the Chinese market, bringing more high-quality goods and services to China.
Chinese officials often express confidence they can build up the consumer sector into a key engine of the economy, but the task is becoming more urgent as governments around the world push back on its huge amount of exports. Those tensions have been highlighted by a trade war with the US that is now amid a fragile truce.
The world’s second-largest economy continues to struggle with weak consumer sentiment and deflationary pressures, although strong retail sales in May gave it some relief from US tariffs.
