中国经济要闻

Beefing up their presence in China will only move multinationals forward with stronger growth over the long term, despite rising uncertainties over decoupling and supply chain disruptions, said global business leaders on the sidelines of the Summer Davos Forum in Tianjin.

They made the remarks as Premier Li Qiang said at the forum on Tuesday that China has full confidence and the ability to achieve steady economic growth and high-quality development for a long time to come.

The country"s economy shows clear rebound and improvement momentum with the first-quarter GDP growing 4.5 percent year-on-year, and is expected to expand faster in the second quarter, Li emphasized, adding that it will offer "a consistent source of dynamism" to global economic recovery and growth.

Wang Rui, senior vice-president of US tech company Intel and chair of Intel China, said many international companies attach great importance to the Chinese market, and "Intel will firmly adhere to its development strategy in China".

"The Chinese market has vast opportunities and provides an open business environment. Intel"s innovative technology is also in line with the high-quality development demands of the Chinese economy. This is a mutually beneficial relationship," Wang said.

George Xu, CEO of Airbus China, said: "Airbus China plans to expand its recruitment of new energy talent to support its green transformation and sustainable development."

Xu said that in China, even faced with challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic, the company increased its headcount by 15 to 20 percent on a yearly basis.

Even with rising decoupling challenges, Wu Chun, managing partner of Boston Consulting Group Greater China, said that the country has demonstrated its resolution to join hands with all other stakeholders to tackle challenges and seek win-win outcomes, thus providing confidence and stability in an uncertain world.

It gives an extra vote of confidence for multinationals to grow in the country over the long term, Wu added.

第十四届夏季达沃斯论坛正在天津举行，来自全球近100个国家和地区的1500多名政商精英及学者共商全球经济复苏和可持续发展之道，与会多家外资企业都对中国市场复苏带来的机遇充满信心。

英特尔公司高级副总裁、英特尔中国区董事长王锐表示，国际大公司对中国市场的看重，是超乎很多人想象的。中国是世界经济发展的基石，世界经济增长30%的贡献来自于中国。“我们有决心去发展，相信中国的潜力还在。像英特尔这样的跨国公司，相信一定是希望在中国把根扎得更深。今年是我们在华发展的第39年了，希望我们庆祝40年，然后庆祝50年。”

此次夏季达沃斯论坛是时隔四年首次恢复线下举办。对一些外资企业来说，这也是在中国拓展新客户的好机会。

波士顿咨询公司(BCG)中国区执行合伙人吴淳表示，中国广阔的市场机遇和持续推进的经济改革举措可为本土及跨国企业提供大量“确定性”的发展机会，相信2023年中国经济和在华经营的企业将继续保持韧性发展。
