Chinese Premier Li Qiang stated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on the 8th local time that since the beginning of this year, China’s economy has withstood pressure and continued to improve. Judging from the performance in the first half of the year, growth is resilient, domestic demand has potential, and innovation has highlights. He emphasized that China’s economy is fully capable of withstanding any external shocks and achieving long-term stable growth, and will always be a strong backing for the development of Chinese-funded enterprises overseas.
According to Xinhua News Agency, on Tuesday Premier Li attended a symposium with Chinese-funded enterprises in Brazil. Local heads of companies such as Bank of China, Great Wall Motors, State Grid, Goldwind, COFCO, Gree Electric Appliances, Dahua Technology, and Zhongtian Technology were present.
After listening to speeches from representatives of these enterprises, Li Qiang said that in recent years, the pace of Chinese enterprises “going global” has accelerated, their international business capabilities have improved, and their importance to domestic economic development is also on the rise.
He promised that government departments will provide good services and guarantees for enterprises, further strengthen the construction of various economic and trade cooperation mechanism platforms, and improve the overall overseas service system. In areas such as policy consultation, finance, credit insurance, and security guarantees, he said, stronger support policies will be researched and rolled out to create a better environment and provide greater convenience for enterprise development.
Li Qiang pointed out that the current international economic and trade landscape is undergoing profound changes, with the rise of unilateralism and protectionism and increasing trade and investment barriers. At the same time, a new wave of technological revolution and industrial transformation is advancing in depth, presenting both challenges and opportunities for enterprises.
He stated that he hopes Chinese-funded enterprises will respond actively in line with the times; build strong brands, take a forward-looking approach, and enhance the global competitiveness of “Made in China” and “Created in China.”
Li Qiang also required Chinese enterprises to deeply cultivate the local market, provide consumers with more popular and market-oriented products and services, use Brazil as a platform to reach the broader Latin American market, and strive to achieve greater development. They should respect local laws and cultural customs, operate in compliance with the law, actively undertake social responsibility, and strive to shape a responsible and committed image of Chinese enterprises.
