Xu Jinghong, chairman of Beijing-based Tsinghua Holdings Co Ltd, said China’s businesses have shown great passion in expanding cooperation worldwide, especially in exploring new growth engines, scientific breakthroughs and innovation development.

Xu said China entered a new era following the 19th CPC National Congress in October and “the potential of development will be greatly released” through various policies being put into place.
