中国在上海世博会彰显自由贸易承诺
2025-11-06
| Chinese Premier Li Qiang said China is resolved to open wider its huge consumer market to international businesses. In a keynote address opening the 8th China International Import Expo in Shanghai, he said all nations must embrace free markets during a time of global economic slowdown and geopolitical disputes. "China is willing to work with all parties to create an open and inclusive development environment, enhance trade and investment, and ensure the stability of global supply chains," he said, adding that the agreement reached at the recent South Korean summit between President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump was a significant step in trying to restore normalcy. The trade expo, largest of its kind in the world, runs from November 5-10, aiming to burnish China's free trade credentials and encourage foreign participation in domestic markets.
Separately, Commerce Minister Wang Wentao announced a new initiative to increase imports, promoting China as a huge market opportunity for foreign producers. On the eve of the expo opening, he said the campaign will include 10 major events a year, featuring five or six countries each time. |
