President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that China must rely on a growth model driven by innovation while continuing to deepen so-called supply-side reforms.

Xi also called for stronger policy coordination among international communities, saying globalisation is "irreversible" and that China will not engage in "de-coupling".

Xi made the comments in a keynote speech delivered via video at the Apec CEO Dialogues, ahead of a leaders' virtual summit on the future of international Cooperation on Friday. (Reuters)
