China hailed for moves advancing opening-up

China's steadfast advocacy of free trade and investment, including concrete moves to pursue high-standard opening-up, will continue to benefit not only the nation but also the rest of the world amid uncertainties arising from geopolitical tensions, according to foreign business leaders and experts.

They also said that Shanghai, a leader in China's drive for opening-up and an international metropolis deeply connected to the global economy, is expected to strengthen its efforts to develop a higher level of open economy, thereby boosting the confidence of foreign investors and injecting new vitality into the broader Chinese economy.

They made the remarks on Tuesday in Shanghai during the "Grow with China" CEO roundtable, which was jointly held by the Foreign Affairs Office of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government and China Daily.
