Yet many cited the larger concerns that remained over China’s slowing economy and whether its government will manage its transition from an economy focused on industry and exports to one that derives most of its growth from consumption. And many worried that an unintended consequence of President Xi Jinping’s anticorruption campaign would be continued disruption of the financial markets.

Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, touched on these points during a debate at the start of the conference. China’s biggest problem today was how its government communicated with the rest of the world, Ms. Lagarde said.

“I would say also that given those massive transitions that are undertaken pretty much at the same time and accepted as such, there is a communication issue,” Ms. Lagarde said, adding, “It’s something that markets do not like.”

Last summer, unexpected actions by the Chinese government started a global sell-off in the markets. Some of those measures nearly brought the market to a standstill. At one point in July, a third of the stock market was frozen. Investors with big stakes in stocks were prohibited from selling those stakes. Hedge funds were raided and short-sellers investigated for what the government called “malicious” activity, according to state media reports. The government even organized large-scale purchases of stocks by government-linked brokerages and investment funds to prop up the plunging market.

Many of these interventionist actions in the market were “the exact replicas that many other countries, including the United States, have done in certain parts of their modern history,” Gary D. Cohn, president of Goldman Sachs, said.

“The communication is really what’s important here; communicating what the Chinese market is going to be and sticking with that theory no matter how painful it is in the transition,” Mr. Cohn added.
