Li Qiang had a discussion and exchange with representatives of German business circles.

On the afternoon of June 19, local time, Premier Li Qiang of the State Council held a discussion and exchange with representatives of German business circles in Berlin. Heads of German enterprises such as Siemens, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Schaeffler, BASF, Koztron, WACKER, Merck, SAP, Allianz and other German enterprises attended. According to Premier Li Qiang's proposal, frankly express their views and conduct in-depth exchanges on how to view the current international economic and political situation, how to treat China's economic trend, how to view the prospects of future technological development, and how to view the so-called "de-risk" and "reduced dependence" put forward by some countries. After listening to the speeches of the delegates, Li Qiang said that face-to-face exchanges can better deepen understanding and trust between people. Today's world is intertwined with chaos, and the more serious and complex the situation is, the more we need to think calmly, grasp certainty in many uncertainties, take the initiative to comply with the law, and grasp the general trend, especially the historical trend of economic globalization, the long-term development trend of China's economy, the general trend of mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Germany, strengthen confidence, overcome difficulties, and accelerate the recovery of the world economy in the course of opening up and cooperation. Li Qiang pointed out: we understand that all parties have their own security concerns, and what is important is how to reasonably define and prevent risks. If it is not handled properly and the risk is expanded, it will only cause more and bigger problems. Enterprises have the most direct and keen sense of risk, and know how to avoid and deal with it, so they should return the leading right of risk prevention to the enterprise. Risk prevention and cooperation are not opposed to each other. Non-cooperation is the greatest risk, and non-development is the greatest insecurity. Economic globalization has made the world economy have you and me, so we should treat the issue of dependence dialectically, and we should not artificially exaggerate "dependence" or even equate interdependence with insecurity. Some specific problems should be analyzed concretely, and all parties can jointly prevent and deal with them through consultation and cooperation. Li Qiang stressed that he hopes that Chinese and German entrepreneurs will comply with the trend, always adhere to openness, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation, better maintain the stability of the industrial chain supply chain through high-quality and high-level practical cooperation, seize opportunities and seize action, strive to achieve more cooperation results in innovative, green, low-carbon and other emerging areas, and make the cake of common interests of the two countries bigger and bigger. We will continue to be an emissary of Sino-German friendship and make greater contributions to enhancing the well-being of the two peoples, promoting the development of Sino-German relations and promoting Sino-EU friendly cooperation. Representatives of the German business community attending the meeting said that Germany and China are close cooperative partners, and the economic and trade cooperation between the two countries has been solid and in-depth and achieved great success. To remove risks, it is necessary to strengthen international cooperation, and decoupling will not work. The German business community is optimistic about the prospects of China's economic development and is full of confidence in China. They believe that China will continue to open up to the outside world, and is willing to continue to increase investment in China and cultivate the Chinese market. We will further deepen Germany-China cooperation in tackling climate change, improving R & D capabilities and promoting digital transformation, so as to achieve a win-win situation for production in China, R & D in China and win-win with China. Wu Zhenglong and others attended the forum.
