Xi pledges more access to China's markets

Without opening up, there won't be progress, president tells CEOs

President Xi Jinping, addressing CEOs from 30 leading companies on Wednesday, said that China was taking steps to make its markets more accessible.

"China is pursuing a new round of opening-up," Xi said at the US-China Business Roundtable in Seattle on the second day of his US visit. It is "significantly removing restrictions on market access for foreign investments".
