The Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasizes that "China is an opportunity rather than a risk for Europe, and a partner rather than an adversary.

Addendum

Wang Yi noted that "risk elimination" cannot be targeted at specific countries, cannot violate WTO rules, and should not raise negative expectations among the business community.

The PRC believes that it is "openness" to cooperation that ensures progress, while isolation will inevitably lead to backwardness. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, China is actively facilitating access to its markets and encouraging the exchange of personnel between China and other countries.

We are ready to work with the EU as a permanent partner in economic and trade cooperation, a priority partner in scientific and technical cooperation, and a reliable partner in production, supply, and data chain cooperation. The two sides should jointly adhere to open policies, support free trade, maintain the stability of global industrial and supply chains, and contribute to the recovery of the global economy

- summarized the Chinese Foreign Ministry.
