(26 Mar 2018) Chinese Premier Li Keqiang met with the participants of the China Development Forum in Beijing on Monday.
The annual forum, which brings together corporate leaders with Chinese economic officials, is used to showcase Beijing's plans.
This year, those include ambitious promises to open financial markets and give entrepreneurs and foreign companies a bigger role in China's state-dominated economy.
Business leaders at the event included Apple CEO Tim Cook, IBM Corp. Chairwoman Virginia Rometty, CEO Patrick Pouyanne of French oil giant Total SA, Bank of China Ltd. Chairman Chen Siqing and CEO Ulf Mark Schneider of Nestle SA.
It also was attended by China's newly appointed central bank governor, Yi Gang, and other Chinese economic leaders.
This year's forum has been overshadowed by the growing rancor between Washington and Beijing over Trump's efforts to redress what he says is an unfair trading relationship.  
Washington accuses China of flooding global markets with unfairly low-priced steel and other goods and stealing or pressuring foreign companies to hand over technology.
