China to open wider to the world: Xi

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said on Sunday China will open its door wider, and will be steadfast in deepening reform and opening-up across the board, push for high-quality development and create more opportunities for the world.

Xi, also the president, made the pledge when meeting the press with other newly-elected members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Just as China cannot develop in isolation from the world, the world needs China for the development, Xi said, adding that in the past 40 years of relentless reform, China has created two miracles of fast economic growth and long-term social stability.

The Chinese economy has great resilience and potential, its strong fundamentals will not change, and it will remain on the positive trajectory over the long run, he said.
