China's Politburo on Tuesday pledged to strengthen energy security and "systematically" respond to external challenges as a part of efforts to bolster economic resilience, according to the official Xinhua news agency.
"We must systematically respond to external shocks and challenges, improve energy resource security guarantee levels, and counter various uncertainties with the certainty of high-quality development," the top decision-making body of the ruling Communist Party said in a meeting chaired by President Xi Jinping, Xinhua reported.
The meeting, which analysed current economic conditions, also called for pushing forward technological self-sufficiency and ensuring self-reliance and control over supply chains, Xinhua said.
