China expects the EU to provide a fair and predictable environment for Chinese businesses – Chinese Foreign Ministry

Beijing, November 14 (Xinhua) — China hopes the EU will provide a fair and predictable environment for Chinese companies to invest and operate in Europe, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Friday.

Lin Jian made the statement while commenting on the Chinese Enterprise Development in the EU 2025/2026 report published by the China Chamber of Commerce in the European Union, which shows that the overall EU business environment ranking among Chinese companies has declined for the sixth consecutive year, with uncertainty considered the biggest obstacle to Chinese businesses operating in the EU.

“We have taken note of this report, as well as the concerns of Chinese businesses about the ongoing pressure on their operations in Europe,” Lin Jian said at a regular briefing for journalists.

In recent years, the EU has been making a fuss about economic competition with China and has consistently promoted “risk mitigation” in relation to China, and has also introduced a number of protectionist measures under the pretext of maintaining “economic security” and “fair competition,” the diplomat noted.

He stressed that the EU had imposed artificial restrictions on semiconductors, 5G and electric vehicles – areas where China and the EU could have established mutually beneficial cooperation – and had taken discriminatory and restrictive measures against Chinese businesses, which had disrupted the healthy and stable functioning of global supply chains.

Such actions, Lin Jian continued, not only fail to enhance the competitiveness of the European Union's own industry, but also send a negative signal of continued regression in the EU market's openness, undermining Chinese companies' confidence in investing in Europe. Ultimately, this harms Europe's own interests, the official stated.

The diplomat noted that over the years, Chinese enterprises have continued to establish themselves in the European market and actively take on social responsibilities, making a positive contribution to economic growth and the EU's green transformation, promoting employment and human well-being.

Lin Jian recalled that the CPC Central Committee's Proposals for the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development outlined the direction of China's economic development for the next five years. He added that ongoing Chinese-style modernization and the steady expansion of high-level opening-up will inevitably bring greater opportunities for Sino-European cooperation.

In the context of a complex and volatile international environment, insufficient global economic growth and increasing trade protectionism, it is all the more important for China and the EU to adhere to dialogue and cooperation, firmly uphold free trade and fair competition, and properly resolve differences and frictions through dialogue and consultation, the official said.

“We hope that the European side will strictly adhere to its commitments to market openness and the principles of fair competition, and will seriously listen to the reasonable proposals and legitimate demands of Chinese enterprises and give them due consideration in order to create a fair and predictable market environment for Chinese companies investing and doing business in Europe,” he added.

The Chinese diplomat also invited the EU to seize the important opportunities arising from China's implementation of the 15th Five-Year Plan and continuously increase trade and economic cooperation and investment to achieve common development.

Any force that dares to impede China's reunification is doomed to failure – Chinese Foreign Ministry /detailed version-1/

Beijing, November 14 (Xinhua) — China will never compromise or yield on issues concerning its core interests, such as national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Any force that dares to impede China's reunification is doomed to failure, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian stated at a ministry press conference on Friday.

Lin Jian made these statements after Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong summoned Japanese Ambassador to China Kenji Kanasugi on Thursday and made serious representations in connection with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's provocative remarks regarding Taiwan, hinting at the possibility of military intervention in the Taiwan Strait.

According to Lin Jian, the root cause of the problem lies in Sanae Takaichi's "extremely wrongful, dangerous and provocative statements regarding Taiwan and her unwillingness to correct and retract her statements."

“This is a gross interference in China’s internal affairs, violates international law and the basic norms of international relations, and also damages the international order that emerged after World War II,” the official representative noted.

"This also runs counter to the one-China principle and the guiding spirit of the four Sino-Japanese political documents, undermines the political foundation of Sino-Japanese relations, and hurts the feelings of the Chinese people," he said.

“We also note that many politicians and visionaries in Japan have issued warnings and criticism regarding this,” Lin Jian added. –0–
