Le Maire: China does not pose risk

France seeks better access to the Chinese market and a „more balanced“ trade relationship – but does not want to decouple from the world’s second-largest economy, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire stressed in Beijing on Sunday. Le Maire said at a press conference in Beijing that he did not want to encounter legislative or other hurdles to accessing Chinese markets. On Saturday, he met with Vice Premier He Lifeng for „constructive“ trade talks, the French minister said.
