The publishing of a talk President Xi Jinping had with some private entrepreneurs last week is a move with many levels of significance.

The Chinese president joined the discussions of a panel of mainly private-sector representatives at the current session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee, a top-level political advisory body, on Saturday.

While he has made several talks in panel discussions during this year's sessions of the National People's Congress and CPPCC National Committee, only this one has been published in full and in the form of a political document.
