How will the country do it?

China’s President Xi Jinping told Swiss executives on Monday that the Chinese economy will continue to grow steadily.

He said: “Overall China’s economy is performing steadily. In 2016, last year, GDP is expected to grow by 6.7 per cent on a year-on-year basis, and that means we missed our set target, but that expectation according to some international institutions will be among the highest among major economies.”

“Protectionism, populism and de-globalisation are on the rise. It’s not good for closer economic cooperation globally,”

“We will expand the openness of our service sector and general manufacturing industry to provide more investment opportunities for foreign businesses and create a sound legal and policy environment a legal playing field.”

China has become Swiss engineering company ABB’s (ABBN.S) second biggest single market, behind the United States.

China is also the world’s biggest elevator maker, it accounts for around 60 per cent of all new equipment orders.
