Market liberalization big pull for investors

Biz-friendly climate, fewer curbs, expanded access in spotlight at event

China's continuous efforts to tap into the country's domestic demand, open its doors even wider and foster an enabling business climate will provide greater trade and investment opportunities for enterprises around the globe, senior officials and global CEOs said on Monday.

China's market liberation efforts are gaining momentum as the country continues to slash restrictions and expand access for foreign investment, said Guo Tingting, vice-minister of commerce, at the two-day China Development Forum, which kicked off in Beijing on Sunday.

"China will fully guarantee equal and nondiscriminatory treatment for foreign companies so that more foreign companies can invest in China with confidence and peace of mind," Guo said.
