RIO DE JANEIRO, July 9 (Xinhua) — China's economy is fully capable of withstanding any external shocks and achieving long-term stable growth, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said on Tuesday.

Speaking at a symposium for Chinese-invested enterprises operating in Brazil, Li Qiang said that since the beginning of this year, the Chinese economy has withstood the pressure and maintained a stable and positive dynamic.

Symposium participants included heads of local branches of Bank of China, Great Wall Motor, State Grid, Goldwind Sci

After listening to the speeches, Li Qiang noted that in recent years, Chinese enterprises have accelerated their pace of entering the international market and improved their international operations capabilities, playing an increasingly important role in stimulating the domestic economy.

Li Qiang said the first half of the year showed China's economic growth was resilient, with domestic demand buoyant and innovation highlights.

Noting that China's economy will always provide firm support to Chinese companies operating overseas, the premier said the government will provide enterprises with better services and guarantees, strengthen the establishment of various mechanisms and platforms for economic and trade cooperation, and improve the overseas one-stop service system.

Li Qiang added that more active policy support will be provided in areas such as policy advice, financing, credit insurance and security to create a better environment for enterprises and promote their development.

The current global economic and trade landscape is undergoing profound changes due to the rise of unilateralism and protectionism, as well as increasing trade and investment barriers, the Prime Minister noted. At the same time, a new wave of technological revolution and industrial transformation is underway, creating both challenges and opportunities for businesses, he added.

Li Qiang expressed hope that Chinese companies can adapt to this trend and take proactive actions. They should build strong brands, strengthen planning, and enhance the global competitiveness of the "Made in China" and "Created in China" brands, he added.

It is important to deeply explore local markets, providing consumers with more products and services in line with market demand, Li Qiang said. He said Chinese companies should use Brazil as a platform to enter the wider Latin American market and strive for greater development.

The Premier noted that Chinese enterprises should respect local laws, regulations and cultural traditions, operate in accordance with legal requirements, actively fulfill social responsibilities and strive to build a responsible image.

The symposium participants said that Chinese enterprises will give full play to their strengths and characteristics, expand cooperation, effectively respond to various challenges, take root locally, and remain committed to operating in accordance with laws and regulations.

They also promised to continue to expand their presence in areas such as finance, energy, agriculture and scientific and technological innovation, maintain a positive image of Chinese enterprises abroad, promote closer economic and trade ties between China and Brazil as well as other Latin American countries, and achieve win-win results. –0–

MINSK, July 9 (Xinhua) — The new car market in Belarus grew by 21.3 percent in the first half of 2025. A total of 24,634 cars were sold in the country over the six months, the Belarusian Automobile Association (BAA) reported on Tuesday.

At the same time, BAA noted that the actual growth of the Belarusian market for new cars is due to sales in the first quarter of this year, and since April, the country's car market has been stagnating. Since March, the number of banks offering loans for the purchase of cars has significantly decreased. In addition, new restrictions have come into effect in the leasing segment for individuals in Belarus.

"As a result, in June, for the first time in the last year, the new car market showed a decline. In total, 3,841 cars were sold in June of this year, which is 13 percent lower than the sales of official dealers in the same period of 2024," BAA noted.

The BAA also noted that good sales results last month were shown by brands that were able to offer financing options for the purchase of their models.

As for electric vehicles, the BAA reported that the emerging trend towards growth in the electric transport market in the country continues to gain momentum. Thus, 664 electric cars were sold in June, which amounted to more than 17 percent of all passenger car sales excluding commercial vehicles. –0–
