President Xi Jinping has vowed to continue China’s reform and opening up, and backed it to solve the country’s challenges as he reflected on 40 years of the policy during his tour of the country’s south.
The road of “reform and opening up” was the “correct path” and China could create “bigger miracles” by sticking to it, Xi was quoted as saying by the official Xinhua news agency on a visit to Shenzhen, China’s foremost technology hub.
“I come to Shenzhen again ... so that we can declare to the world: China’s reform and opening up will never stop,” Xi was quoted as saying.
“This year marked the 40th anniversary of China’s reform and opening up. In the last 40 years, China’s development achievements have impressed the world,” the Chinese leader said.
“So, since we are getting better and better, then why don’t we continue along the chosen path? Although we have some difficulties and problems, we have to solve and overcome them by going along the chosen road. We must firmly walk down the road of reform and opening up.”
