Ministry of Commerce: China has no intention to decouple from the world, and it is impossible to decouple

　　China News Service, January 14 Gao Feng, spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, said on the 14th that China has repeatedly emphasized that China has no intention of decoupling from the world, and it is impossible to decouple.

　　At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Commerce held on the afternoon of the 14th, a reporter asked: It is reported that the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China and the German Mercator China Research Center are planning to jointly release today a report on the potential impact of economic decoupling. The "decoupling" process of the external world has already begun, and the Sino-US trade war has accelerated the decoupling trend.

European companies in China are worried that this phenomenon will force European companies to shrink their business in China or pay more to adapt to the technology and supply chain system that is isolated between China and the United States.

Does the Ministry of Commerce have any comments?

　　Gao Feng said that we have noticed the relevant report just released.

Regarding the so-called decoupling of China from the world, China has repeatedly emphasized that China has no intention of decoupling from the world, and it cannot be decoupled.

　　Gao Feng said that China's independent development is not inconsistent with international industrial chain supply chain cooperation.

Since the reform and opening up, China has continuously expanded its opening up to the outside world, and while developing itself, it has made positive contributions to promoting world economic growth and building a global shared industrial chain supply chain system.

We oppose the unilateral and protectionist practices of destroying the existing industrial supply chain and artificially creating the so-called "decoupling" in any name.

　　Gao Feng pointed out that at present, China is accelerating the construction of a new development pattern and actively promoting a more open domestic and international dual cycle.

China will continue to expand market opening, work with other countries to better maintain the security, efficiency, and stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain, promote a higher level of globalization, and build an open world economy.

We are willing to provide more high-quality services to investors from all countries, including European companies, to create a good business environment and achieve common development.
