Xi spoke Monday at the China International Import Expo, which is being attended by 3,600 companies and foreign leaders including Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev of Russia.
He made no mention of Beijing’s dispute with President Donald Trump over Chinese plans for state-led development of technology industries, but advocated for “inclusiveness for all and cooperation.”
Xi acknowledged some Chinese industries face “growing risks” but said efforts to shore up growth are already paying off.
“The fundamentals for sound and steady growth of the Chinese economy remain unchanged,” he said.
Xi’s government is emphasising the promise of China’s growing consumer market to help defuse complaints that Beijing abuses the global trading system by reneging on promises to open its industries.
