China's development is an opportunity, not a threat, and China is willing to leverage its market advantages and share its opportunities with other countries, Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng said on Tuesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
China adheres to the principles of equality, mutual benefit and resolving issues through consultation to create win-win and multi-win outcomes, he added during his special address at the forum.
"China's development presents an opportunity, not a threat, to the world's economy. When it comes to differences and misunderstandings in international economic and trade cooperation, China calls for equal consultation to enhance mutual trust, bridge differences and solve problems," said He.
The vice premier highlighted that China will continue to expand its opening-up.
"China will open its door still wider to the world. China will actively expand voluntary opening-up, and proactively align with high-standard international economic and trade rules. China will continue to foster a market-oriented, law-based and internationalized business environment, provide equal treatment for both domestic and foreign enterprises. We welcome foreign enterprises to continue to invest in China and share in China's opportunities. We hope governments of other countries can provide a fair, non-discriminatory, transparent and predictable investment environment for Chinese enterprises," he said.
Under the theme "A Spirit of Dialogue", the 2026 WEF meeting opened on Monday in the Swiss Alpine town of Davos and will run through Friday. About 3,000 leaders and experts from around the world are gathering to discuss five pressing global challenges, including enhancing cooperation, unlocking new sources of growth and deploying innovation at scale and responsibly.
