GYEONGJU, South Korea -- President Xi Jinping said on Friday that walking with China means walking with opportunities, believing in China means believing in tomorrow, and investing in China means investing in the future.

In a written speech delivered at the APEC CEO Summit, Xi said China can provide the global business community with more development opportunities, a sound business environment, a broad stage for innovation, and conditions for green growth.

Facts have proved that whoever has a firm foothold in the Chinese market will gain the upper hand in fierce international competition, he added.
