U.S. President Joe Biden pledged that the country will not go back to lockdowns, adding that it is Americans' "patriotic duty" to get vaccinated.

In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, Ning Jizhe, Deputy Head of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that the Chinese government will boost spending, enhance support to manufacturers and small companies and protect price stability.

Beijing is determined to implement proactive fiscal policies, increase efforts to build an integral domestic market and further reduce the negative list regarding foreign investment, he added.
