Promote Opening Up - Li Qiang

China should promote reforms that deepen opening to the outside world, according to Premier Li Qiang. On a recent tour of free trade zones in Shanghai, Li said China had benefited from partnerships with foreign companies and the government should take measures to attract foreign firms. Li acknowledged cross-border data flows remained a concern to all parties and called on relevant authorities to build a new cross-border data management system. On FTZs, the Premier instructed local officials to focus on meeting international trade rules and promoting institutional opening up. (Source: Yicai)
