Xi says China will accelerate market opening, expand imports
He says foreign firms should be treated fairly and the yuan currency will be kept basically stable
Beijing
PRESIDENT Xi Jinping said on Monday China will accelerate market opening and clear administrative hurdles to boost foreign investment, while stepping up financial regulation to fend off risks.
China should quicken the pace to eliminate restrictions on foreign capital in areas such as baby products, elderly care, architecture design, accounting, auditing, logistics, and e-commerce, Mr Xi told the Communist Party's financial and economic leading group in a regular meeting, as reported by state radio.
