China will reinforce existing policies and streamline administrative procedures to promote steady growth of imports and exports, the government announced on Tuesday.
Tuesday's State Council executive meeting, chaired by Premier Li Keqiang, focused on key problems concerning the implementation of trade policy and measures needed to address them.
Li said the sluggish global outlook and weak overseas demand have undermined efforts to shore up China's trade volume. Rising domestic manufacturing costs also have consequences for China's imports and exports, he said.
