Vice-President Han Zheng reiterated on Tuesday Beijing's unwavering commitment to widening market access, bettering the business environment and jointly safeguarding the stability of global industry and supply chains with businesses from various countries.

Speaking during a meeting with representatives from the advisory board of Tsinghua University School of Economics and Management, Han explained the strategic plans laid out during the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in October and repeated pledges that China will continue to follow a basic national policy of opening-up.

The advisory board, with former Chinese premier Zhu Rongji as its honorary chairman and Tim Cook, CEO of tech giant Apple as chairman, is comprised of CEOs of major multinational companies and leading scholars from top business schools.

Han, the former vice-premier of the State Council who was elected vice-president during the first session of the 14th National People's Congress this month, said the goal of the CPC is to enable the over 1.4 billion Chinese people to lead better lives.

The central task of the Party is to advance the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through the Chinese path to modernization, he said.

He underscored that there is no premium model or standard for modernization, and the attaining of modernization must be based on the national conditions and practices of various countries.
