China will continue opening-up, shorten negative list: Ning Jizhe

China will continue to open up its economy and shorten the negative list, enabling a better business environment for foreign investment, according to the country's top economic planner.

"We will persist in developing a high-level open economy, fully implementing the management system on pre-establishment national treatment and negative lists and taking measures to encourage foreign investment," said Ning Jizhe, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission.

Ning said China will further shorten the negative list on market entry, introducing more open measures in the fields of agriculture, mining, manufacturing and services and allowing foreign investment to run more wholly foreign-owned enterprises in more areas.
