China has pledged to further open its markets to foreign businesses as top global CEOs gathered at the China Development Forum in 2025. The forum, held annually in Beijing, provides a platform for dialogue between Chinese policymakers and international business leaders.
Chinese Premier Li Qiang announced a series of measures aimed at improving the business environment for foreign companies, including streamlined regulatory processes and enhanced intellectual property protections. “China remains committed to opening its markets and fostering a fair, transparent, and predictable business environment,” Li stated during his keynote address.
The announcement comes as China seeks to attract foreign investment amid slowing economic growth and increasing competition from other emerging markets. CEOs from leading global corporations, including Apple, Tesla, and Siemens, attended the forum to discuss opportunities and challenges in the Chinese market.
