Li: Nation is an 'anchor of stability'

China offers "an anchor of stability and growth" in an uncertain world with its support for reform, openness and free trade, Premier Li Keqiang wrote in an article for Bloomberg Business-week published Thursday.

The nation is opening new sectors of its economy to investment and improving access to many others while ensuring that all businesses registered in China are treated equally, he wrote. It is the latest call from a Chinese leader for globalization at a time when the world is faced with a growing trend of protectionism.

"The world is a community of shared destiny," Li wrote. "It's far preferable for countries to trade goods and services and bond through investment partnerships than to trade barbs and build barriers.
