China willing to work with world on globalization

China opposes the many forms of trade protectionism and supports free trade, Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli said on Sunday, amid rising anti-globalization sentiment around the world.

The country will also stick to its stance of economic opening-up and further improve the business environment for foreign investors, Zhang told the China Development Forum.

"China is willing to work with other countries to oppose various forms of trade and investment protectionism," he said. "We should unwaveringly push forward economic globalization. We cannot halt our steps because of temporary difficulties."
