TIANJIN, June 27 -- Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Tuesday offered his four-pronged observations on how humanity can navigate the turbulent times, as the world is standing at a historical crossroads.

Thirdly, the premier noted that having gone through the twists and turns of economic globalization, all countries should cherish openness and cooperation more.
"Economic globalization is a historical trend," said Li. "Despite the headwinds and pushback, development trend of economic globalization has kept moving forward."
