At the Forum for Asia, held in Boao, China, President Xi Jinping said that one of the main lines of his country’s economic policy is to open the economy abroad. To that end, Xi Jinping argued that to achieve this goal, China must significantly lower its import tariffs (especially those on automobiles), protect the intellectual property of foreign companies and improve the environment in which these companies operate in China. The Chinese President stated that his country intends to increase imports and that it does not seek a constant trade surplus with other nations. The words of the Chinese President are striking, as they meet the intentions of President Trump.
