President Xi Jinping called for China to implement more proactive macroeconomic policies this year to maintain growth momentum as the world’s No. 2 economy could be facing new US tariffs.

The Chinese leader said the country should seek progress while maintaining stability. He also reiterated his call to promote high-level scientific and technological self-reliance, the official Xinhua News Agency reported on Monday, citing remarks at an event for the Lunar New Year in Beijing.
