China to broaden market access, expand imports

Beijing. April 25. Silkroadnews - Chinese Ambassador to the Great Britain said on Monday that his country has "sounded the trumpet of greater openness", pledging broader market access and more attractive investment environment, Global Times reports.
In a signed article entitled "A more open China helps the whole world" on the Daily Telegraph, Liu Xiaoming said China will significantly broaden market access, create a more attractive investment environment, strengthen protection of intellectual property rights and expand imports.
"We are also hoping to launch the Shanghai-London Stock Connect, allowing traders in both countries to buy on each other's markets across time zones," he said.
Liu said that in some parts of the world, there is the rise of protectionist and egoist policies, where a belief in the "zero-sum game" is fanning chaos and danger in the international community.
Liu said China is reaffirming its intention to join hands with the UK and the world to share growth opportunities, achieve common development, and build a better future.
