Premier Li Qiang: Companies are an important force in driving digital trade. We warmly welcome more rigorous investment from companies of all countries and their long-term commitment in the Chinese market. We will fully implement national treatment for foreign-invested enterprises, resolve their reasonable concerns, and enable them to run and grow their business with confidence.

Premier Li Qiang: The international community should enhance North-South cooperation in the field of digital trade, and provide more support to developing countries in terms of technology, infrastructure and personnel training. Development needs to have both speed and a human touch if we are to realize global prosperity and better life for all.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang attended the launching ceremony of the 5th Global Digital Trade Expo in Hangzhou on September 24, 2026. Every major technological innovation in history brought about a more open world. Today, with accelerated digitization, the trend of economic globalization is unstoppable. Against this backdrop, mutual distrust and beggar-thy-neighbour approach will only be discarded by the times; mutual trust, mutual benefit and open cooperation alone will help us win the future.
