SAFE deputy director and spokesperson Li Bin said at a State Council Information
Office briefing on Sept. 10 that global multipolarization and economic
globalization will continue, but protectionism, geopolitical conflict and
international financial-market volatility will pose challenges. He said that, on
balance, China’s balance of payments is likely during the 15th Five-Year Plan
period to expand in scale, see structural optimization and remain broadly
balanced.
