China continues to open its doors wider to world

Editor's note: The ongoing trade frictions with the United States will not close China's doors, comments Niutanqin, a popular columnist, in a web post. Excerpts:

In the first three quarters of this year, China's foreign trade was 22.28 trillion yuan ($3.22 trillion), with about 50 percent of the products made in China part of the global supply chain.

Over the past few years, China has further opened its market entry to foreign companies, shortened the negative list, strengthened intellectual property rights protection and taken concrete measures to expand its imports. These efforts have paid off.
