It is not difficult to see from this picture that in the current complex international situation, even though economic globalization is facing headwinds, many multinational companies from Europe still have a positive outlook on China's economic prospects. Several business leaders expressed their willingness to continue to deeply cultivate the Chinese market in interviews with reporters. 2025 is also a special time point for both China and Europe. On May 6, 1975, China established diplomatic relations with the European Economic Community (predecessor of the European Union). Today, 50 years later, China and the European Union have become each other's most important trading partners, with bilateral trade increasing from $2.4 billion in the early days of diplomatic relations to $780 billion. In recent times, from several European politicians and businessmen attending the China Development Forum and the Boao Forum for Asia to discuss economic and trade cooperation issues, to numerous European multinational companies showcasing new products at the China International Consumer Goods Expo and the Shanghai International Auto Show, and to Chinese officials from the Ministry of Commerce leading delegations to hold economic and trade investment matchmaking meetings in multiple European countries... The exchanges and cooperation between China and Europe in the field of economy and trade further demonstrate that China Europe relations have strong endogenous driving forces and broad development prospects. Striving for win-win cooperation is the correct way for China and Europe to get along, which not only benefits their respective development, but also maintains the stability of the global industrial and supply chains, injecting more certainty into the world economy. Accelerating the cultivation of new quality productive forces, vigorously promoting green and low-carbon development, and continuously expanding high-level opening up... China is firmly committed to promoting high-quality development, which is bringing broad new opportunities for cooperation to multinational companies in China. At the 21st Shanghai International Automotive Industry Exhibition, BMW Group of Germany unveiled three new generation concept cars and released multiple breakthrough technologies such as intelligent super sensory cockpit for the first time. Within 30 days, BMW Group Chairman Zipser visited China three times and described China as a "market full of innovation and vitality". When talking about deep cooperation with Alibaba, ByteDance and other Chinese enterprises, Kipce said frankly that the speed of innovation in the Chinese market is amazing. The thriving innovation ecosystem here allows us to fully integrate cutting-edge technology. From the "world factory" to the "innovation laboratory," the changing investment strategies of more and more multinational companies in China reflect the future potential of the Chinese market. In the view of Shen Rui'an, the global CEO of Danone Group in France, China is not only an innovation highland, but also a gathering place for talents, with a world-class talent reserve covering many fields such as scientific research, artificial intelligence, and business. Danone has always grown together with China, deeply cultivating the field of nutrition and health, and committed to achieving business growth in a sustainable way. Expanding from a single business to comprehensive operation, from staying in one place to blooming in multiple locations, from a factory to a corporate group... This is a vivid silhouette of the growth and expansion of foreign-funded enterprises in China and the Chinese market over the years. With the deepening of economic and trade cooperation between China and Europe over the past 50 years, and thanks to China's reform and opening-up policies, Heraeus started as a company in Hong Kong in 1974, and now has expanded its footprint to 12 cities in China, with 20 companies and nearly 3000 employees, conducting extensive business layout in multiple industries. ”Said Ai Zhouping, President of Heraeus Greater China. As a German family owned enterprise and technology group, Heraeus is one of the earliest foreign-funded enterprises to conduct business in China. In recent years, we have personally felt that the exchange of technology and professional knowledge, coupled with complementary resources, has benefited the two major economies of the European Union and China, and has also promoted collaborative innovation between the two sides, enhancing their competitiveness in the global market, "said Ai Zhouping. Since the beginning of this year, in the face of an increasingly complex and changing external environment, China has timely released the "Action Plan for Stabilizing Foreign Investment in 2025", which includes a series of measures to "reduce" restrictions on foreign investment access and proposes to further expand new opening-up measures such as pilot projects in the telecommunications and medical fields; Make "additions" in the business environment and effectively implement national treatment for foreign-funded enterprises. These pragmatic measures have shown many leaders of European multinational corporations the sincerity and determination of the Chinese government to further expand opening up and vigorously attract foreign investment. We are very optimistic about the development prospects of the Chinese market. ”Danfoss Group President and CEO Xing Jian told reporters that last year Danfoss achieved strong growth in related businesses such as data centers, ships, and energy storage in China. Next, we look forward to working closely with more Chinese partners to achieve win-win outcomes and make new contributions to the comprehensive green transformation of China's economic and social development.
