China emphasizes that it does not deliberately pursue a trade surplus and is willing to be a driver of the world market to promote global trade.

United Morning Post reported today: On Tuesday (January 20), Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng emphasized in Davos, Switzerland, that China never deliberately pursues a trade surplus, and is not only willing to be the world's factory, but also the world's market; however, due to the generalization of security concerns, "often it is China that wants to buy, but the other party is unwilling to sell".

Comments: "Not deliberately pursuing a surplus, and being willing to be the world's market" is China's genuine position on opening up. The import potential of China's vast market is an important addition to the global economy. Meanwhile, the long-term deficit in service trade also confirms that China is not merely an export-oriented trading partner.

The current imbalance in global trade is certainly not due to China's market attitude, but rather the protectionist tide stirred up by the "generalization of security concerns." Some countries politicize trade and technology, broaden technological blockades, set up trade barriers, and artificially create trade bottlenecks where "it is difficult to buy even when you want to."
