QIONGHAI, China -- China vowed Thursday to ramp up trade and investment with new market access measures as it looks to rev up its post-pandemic economy.

Speaking at an international meeting on the southern island of Hainan, Premier Li Qiang also touted China as an "anchor" for global peace and development amid soaring U.S. tensions, as leaders from Singapore and Malaysia warned that the Sino-U.S. rift was a risk to the world.
