Jens Eskelund, president of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, reaffirmed China's enduring economic resilience during a recent visit to Liaoning Province, countering narratives of declining competitiveness. Speaking to CGTN, Eskelund highlighted the nation's strategic advancements in manufacturing, green energy, and technological innovation as key drivers of sustained growth.
Eskelund's observations in northeastern China emphasized the region's industrial modernization efforts and integration into global supply chains. "China remains a critical player in shaping global economic dynamics," he noted, pointing to infrastructure upgrades and policy support for foreign enterprises as factors bolstering investor confidence.
His remarks come amid heightened global interest in Asia's economic trajectory, with analysts closely monitoring cross-sector collaborations between Chinese and European firms. The EU Chamber of Commerce has consistently advocated for balanced dialogue to address market-access challenges while recognizing opportunities in China's consumer-driven expansion.
For business professionals and policymakers, Eskelund's insights underscore the importance of nuanced engagement with Asia's largest economy. As China advances its dual-circulation strategy, international stakeholders are recalibrating approaches to leverage emerging opportunities in digital transformation and sustainable development.
