Li's call came as the European bloc grows warier of the risks of engaging China, defined as its partner, competitor and"systemic rival" since 2019. "Risk prevention does not preclude co-operation, interdependence should not be equated with insecurity," Li told EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Saturday, the Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement.
Li urged the bloc to provide a non-discriminatory environment for Chinese firms, adding that China was willing to strengthen dialogue and co-operation in areas such clean energy and green finance, the ministry said in a statement on Sunday. "China and the EU should further unite and co-operate, and use the stability of China-EU relations as a hedge against the uncertainty of the world situation," it quoted Li as saying.In June, the EU adopted a strategy of"de-risking" to manage its dependence on the Asian giant, which is the world's second largest economy.
