BEIJING, March 22 (Xinhua) -- China will continue to deliver stable and high-quality growth and inject greater certainty and positive momentum into the global economy, a senior official said on Sunday.
China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) serves as a blueprint to create and expand new opportunities together with the rest of the world, Han Wenxiu, executive deputy director of the Office of the Central Committee for Financial and Economic Affairs, said at the China Development Forum 2026 held in Beijing.
Despite global uncertainties, China will remain committed to deepening reform comprehensively and expanding high-standard opening up over the next five years, Han said. He added that the country will further expand market access and open up more areas, particularly in the service sector, and open up wider in areas such as telecommunications, healthcare and education.
"We do not deliberately pursue a trade surplus; on the contrary, we are committed to promoting balanced trade development," Han said, adding that China, in fact, has long run a significant deficit in services trade.
As a responsible major country, China has taken the initiative to open its market, expand imports of high-quality products, and grant zero-tariff treatment for 100 percent tariff lines to all the least developed countries that have diplomatic relations with China, said the official.
History has proved that China's long-term, stable and secure development environment makes it a premier safe haven for international capital, Han noted.
The China Development Forum 2026 is scheduled from March 22 to 23, with the theme "China in Its 15th Five-Year Plan Period: Advancing High-Quality Development and Creating New Opportunities Together."
