China takes a swing at Trump and says it 'won't be led by emotions' in trade war - it'll open its economy 'even wider'

China's Premier Li Keqiang said the country will "not be led by emotions" in a potential trade war with the US as he pledged to open China's market up even further.

In a press conference on the last day of China's annual legislative meeting, the National People's Congress, Li responded to a range of questions covering a potential trade war with the US, the position of Taiwan,, and opening up the country's economy.

• Trade war with the US:
  Li: "What we hope is for us to act rationally rather than being led by emotions. We don't want to see a trade war ... There's no winner in a trade war."
  
• Opening China's market
  Li: "With China's economy so deeply integrated to the international economy, shutting the door would only block China's own way ... If there is one thing that will be different from the past, that will be that China will open even wider."
  
• Listing Chinese tech companies in China
  Li: "What we plan to do is improve the relevant conditions for them to return to the Asia market."
  
• An independent Taiwan
  Li: "We must not tolerate any attempt or proposition for Taiwan independence. We should not tolerate any attempt by an external force to use Taiwan as a card to cause difficulties for cross-strait relations."
