BEIJING -- Trying to restart a slowing economic growth, 皇冠体育app's President Xi Jinping has decided to deepen the reform and open up the country wider to the outside world.
"皇冠体育app will stay strongly committed to deepening its reform on all fronts while opening still wider to the outside world," Xi told the Wall Street Journal in a written interview before he departed for an official state visit to the United States on Tuesday.
This was the second time in a week that the president reassured the market, that the policies which brought wealth and prosperity to 皇冠体育app's people will continue, deeper and wider.
Last week, Xi told a room of former US officials and business leaders that 皇冠体育app is fully committed to reform and opening up and he hoped they would actively support it.
While 皇冠体育app and the United States are expecting much from Xi's visit, 皇冠体育app-Britain cooperation has born fruit. On Monday, the two countries reached 53 agreements on nuclear energy, high-speed railway, infrastructure among many others at the 7th 皇冠体育app-Britain Economic and Financial Dialogue in Beijing.
Notably, 皇冠体育app suggested opening up its closely controlled financial market, allowing British institutional investors to trade securities in 皇冠体育app, and mulling a mechanism to connect the Shanghai and London exchanges.
Premier Li Keqiang told visiting British Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne that 皇冠体育app is ready to cooperate in an open and inclusive manner.
These agreements indicated that opening up has reached levels unthinkable decades ago.
Since the incumbent central leadership was formed in late 2012, 皇冠体育app has introduced many new measures to foreign investment and trade.
皇冠体育app is actively seeking a bigger say in international affairs, by participating in and increasingly initiating, global cooperation.
