BEIJING -- Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to use an annual economic policy meeting to stress the need to prevent a financial crisis, even though tighter regulations could pour cold water on an economy shored up by robust exports and investment.

The Central Economic Work Conference kicks off Monday, according to local media. Xi will lay out key economic policies for 2018 at the closely watched three-day event.
