China calls for concerted steps to spur trade

BEIJING (China Daily/ANN) China hopes that countries that have recently tightened scrutiny of foreign investment will create a fair, transparent and predictable business environment for investors across the world, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday (July 2).

Since the global economy is experiencing tremendous downward pressure, China believes that all parties should uphold the principle of openness and cooperation, strengthen trade and investment cooperation, and work together to meet the challenges, said Gao Feng, the ministry's spokesman.
