Li Qiang urges market openness amid US tariff concerns

Chinese Premier Li Qiang called on countries to open their markets to address increasing instability and uncertainty during a business forum in Beijing on Sunday, as China prepares for additional US tariffs.

Beijing is eager to attract foreign investment amid increased geopolitical tensions, as officials aim to increase domestic consumption to counter new US tariff challenges.

“We will focus on combining policy intensification with stimulating market forces,” Li said, according to a Xinhua report, without elaborating on specific stimulus measures.
