President Xi Jinping said China would stick to its policy agenda, despite pressure from the U.S. and others to allow more competition in its economic system and reduce support for state industry.
Xi told an audience of party officials, military leaders and entrepreneurs in a speech Tuesday that no one is in the position to dictate to the Chinese people what should and should not be done. The 80-minute address in Beijing was held to mark the 40th anniversary of the Reform and Opening Up campaign that unleashed the countrys economic boom under then leader Deng Xiaoping.
While the speech was being watched for potential policy announcements, Xi offered no new ideas to boost the economy or assuage U.S. concerns. Instead, he reiterated the need for the Communist Party to exercise leadership and control over all aspects of the countrys development.
What and how to reform must be based on the overarching goal of improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, Xi said We will resolutely reform what should or can be changed, but will never reform what cannot be changed.

So when you have an American president telling the Chinese that you do it our way or else, as a means of negotiating unfair trade policies, and when that method of "negotiation" falls flat on its face, is that a surprise?
