Have you seen this? " Xi promises to ‘open’ up China’s markets — and cut tariffs on car imports Boao, CHINA — Chinese President Xi Jinping promised foreign companies greater access to China’s financial and manufacturing sectors, pledging Beijing’s commitment to further economic liberalization amid rising trade tensions with the U.S. In a speech that officials had billed as a major address, Xi said Tuesday that plans are under way to accelerate access to the insurance sector, expand the permitted business scope for foreign financial institutions and reduce tariffs on imported automobiles and ownership limits for foreign car companies. Check out: China can’t match U.S. in tariffs, but it has other weapons to use Throughout his 40-minute address, Xi never mentioned the trade friction with the U.S. or President Donald Trump. His remarks seemed designed to offer some policy initiatives, if not concessions, while drawing a contrast with President Trump’s “America First” agenda and portraying China as a steady global partner committed to the international trade order.
