President Xi Jinping has said that no one can “dictate” China’s economic development path, in a closely watched speech marking 40 years since the opening up of the Chinese economy to the rest of the world, a move that has transformed the world’s most populous country into a global economic powerhouse.
His address on Tuesday came as China is locked in diplomatic spats and a bitter trade war with the United States amid pressure to accelerate changes on the economic front.
Addressing Communist Party members for nearly 90 minutes, Xi promised to press ahead with economic reforms but offered no new specific measures.
