The government
will push forward reforms in its free trade zones where it will
provide more support for financial experimentation, including
loosening market access and further opening the services sector,
Xi said at the meeting.
"Further development needs to be based on reforms while progress
in reforms gives a strong impetus for development," Xi was
quoted saying.
The government will also push forward the construction of
financial infrastructure and work on building advanced think
tanks, Xinhua reported.
The meeting was held nearly two weeks after the ruling Communist
Party's key plenum meeting, at which Party leaders discussed the
next five-year plan, the blueprint for the country's social and
economic development in the 2016-2020 period.
Xi said last week that China needed to maintain annual economic
growth of at least 6.5 percent over the next five years to
realize the country's goal of doubling 2010 GDP and per capita
income by 2020.
The economy grew 6.9 percent between July and September from a
year earlier, dipping below 7 percent for the first time since
the global financial crisis, though some market watchers believe
real growth rates are much weaker than government figures
suggest.
