At the dialogue session, Premier Li answered a raft of questions put forward by the attendees, ranging from China's business environment, adjustment of industry chain, enterprises and innovation, opening-up of finance, to development of private businesses. As for business environment, China will build market-oriented, internationalized business environment based on rule of law and with openness, transparency and predictability, Li said, noting that restrictions on market access will be further relaxed. Apart from treating foreign investors impartially and fairly, the country will strengthen the protection of intellectual property, Li said. Against the backdrop of worldwide investment downturn, China saw a steady inflow of foreign investment in the first five months of this year, with the investment in the manufacturing industry up more than 8 percent year on year, Li said.
