China opposes protectionism, the erection of "fences and barriers," decoupling, disruption of industrial and supply chains, unilateral sanctions, and maximum-pressure tactics, according to a report submitted to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on Sunday.

China adheres to the right course of economic globalization. It strives to promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, advance bilateral, regional, and multilateral cooperation, and boost international macroeconomic policy coordination, the report said.

The country is committed to working with other countries to foster an international environment conducive to development and create new drivers for global growth, the report said.
