The Sixth China International Import Expo kicked off in Shanghai last week with two significant messages from China’s top leadership. In a letter to this year’s event, President Xi Jinping affirmed that the country remains determined to promote a high level of openness and to contribute to building an open global economy. During Premier Li Qiang’s keynote speech at the opening of the six-day event, he said that China will continue to promote greater market opportunities, better rule alignment, a stronger drive toward innovation and more “inclusive sharing.”
