Nation walks the talk on efforts to create 'fair business environment'

BEIJING - Earlier this month, China's State Council released a guideline detailing 20 policies to create a more "fair, transparent and predictable" business environment for foreign investors in the country's latest opening-up push.

Amid rising tides of protectionism and unilateralism, the move highlighted China's resolution to liberalize its economy, and with top leaders' repeated promise of wider opening-up on various occasions, the world can count on the country to continue to walk the talk, analysts said.

The significance of reform and opening-up cannot be overstated as it has defined the country's growth stories over the past decades and will continue the role going forward.
