The EU and China should work together for a better globalization, the Chinese envoy to the EU said in a speech on June 7.
Noting that some people imputed problems to globalization, the ambassador stressed, "it is unfair to turn a blind eye to the fact that globalization has facilitated movement of personnel, goods and technology."
"In the face of difficulty, the right approach is to come together and rise to the challenge, and do our best to make globalization more dynamic, inclusive and sustainable," said Zhang, who has held the post since last October. He called on standing up together with a clear voice to say no to unilateralism and trade protectionism. "In this regard, China and the EU have a shared commitment, shared interests, and more importantly, shared responsibility," he observed.
The ambassador also called for public goods to benefit all, citing the Belt and Road Initiative as a good example. With regards to some concerns about the initiative, Zhang underlined that China "has no intention to do geopolitical calculations, seek exclusionary blocs or impose any business deals on others".
