Exclusive | ‘Progress cannot be stopped’: China’s ambassador to France talks trade, EV tariffs
Deng Li says China and Europe can build emerging sectors like EVs together, Beijing not interested in ‘completely unnecessary’ trade surplus
As Europe adapts to the changing nature of the global economy and the fast pace of technological innovation, China is ready to help the continent as it determines its role in emerging industries, Beijing’s top diplomat in Paris told the Post.
“Many new industrial and supply chains are currently taking shape, continually emerging as technological revolutions advance,” said Deng Li, Chinese ambassador to France and Monaco, in Paris on October 15.
“China sincerely hopes that these industrial chains will be global. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially those in Europe, must consider [their] place in the industries of the future.”
