Businesses commit to China's future
Editor's note: The Government Work Report, delivered on March 5, charted a course for China's economic development for the coming year. By setting fairly robust growth targets, the country is set to be the locomotive pulling the world economy amid global economic headwinds. In addition, a number of pro-growth efforts have been unveiled to spur innovation and continue opening-up. Rapid progress has seen China storming up the charts in the World Bank's annual report on the business environment. The country is on course to enact a foreign investment law to better protect the lawful rights of foreign businesses in China in a concerted manner. China Daily has polled senior executives from multinational companies to learn about their positioning, perception and predictions for the Chinese market.
