China firmly opposes the politicization, weaponization, and instrumentalization of economic and trade issues, and is willing to engage in candid dialogue with the US based on mutual respect and equality, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng said Saturday during a meeting with visiting US Senator Steve Daines in Beijing, the Xinhua News Agency reported. 

China and the US share broad common interests and significant opportunities for cooperation, and can be partners and friends, achieving mutual success and shared prosperity that benefits both countries and the world, He, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, emphasized.

He also met with Lim Boon Heng, chairman of Singapore's Temasek Holdings, in Beijing on Saturday, according to Xinhua.

China will open its doors wider to the outside world, and its business environment will get better and better, He said, noting that there will be broad space for deepened cooperation between China and Singapore.

"We welcome Temasek and other international investors to invest in China and share the huge market and development opportunities here," He said.
