Xi's remarks boost private sector
In a rare move, the government released on Wednesday the full transcript of President Xi Jinping's remarks in support of private businesses during a panel discussion with political advisers last week.
Lawmakers and political advisers from the private sector have taken them as a pledge from the top leadership to continue market-oriented reform and to protect private enterprises.
Some policy researchers also see the remarks as an effort to clarify the relationship between government officials and private businesspeople.
