　　As global markets grapple with rising uncertainties caused by surging protectionism, China has delivered its strong commitment to serving as a stabilizing force in an increasingly fractured world economy through expanding opening-up and creating a secure and predictable business environment, foreign business executives said.

　　From the China Development Forum in Beijing to the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference in Boao, Hainan province, hundreds of foreign multinational executives who came to China for the events last week were struck by a clear message that China remains committed to advocating a more open, inclusive global economy and engaging with the world for common prosperity.

　　Their confidence was further boosted by President Xi Jinping's remarks on Friday when he met in Beijing with more than 40 multinational business executives from around the world.

　　“China's door will only open wider. The policy of welcoming foreign investment remains unchanged and will not change,“ Xi said.

　　“China has been and will remain an ideal, secure and promising destination for foreign investors,“ he said. “Embracing China is embracing opportunities, believing in China is believing in a better tomorrow, and investing in China is investing in the future.“
