Premier Li Keqiang said China is dedicated to creating a market-oriented and internationalized business environment under the rule of law, and will treat enterprises with all types of ownership equally.

He made the remarks at the 7th China-Japan-Republic of Korea (ROK) Business Summit in Chengdu, Southwest China's Sichuan province, on Dec 24.

China will never seek trade protectionism, even while facing trade deficits with the ROK and Japan, Premier Li said, adding that China is committed to opening-up, and the door of opening-up will only open wider.

The Premier also said that China welcomes enterprises from the ROK and Japan to seize more business opportunities in China's opening-up, achieving mutual benefits and win-win results.
