China and Spain Commit to Equitable Business Environment, Expanding Bilateral Cooperation

China and Spain have agreed to foster a “fair, just, and non-discriminatory” business climate for each other’s enterprises, according to statements from Wang Yi, a leading Chinese diplomat. This agreement comes amid Europe’s heightened focus on reducing dependency on Beijing. The commitment was highlighted during a meeting in Madrid between Wang Yi and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, where discussions on economic and cultural cooperation aimed at deepening bilateral relations were a focal point. Both leaders emphasized the importance of developing their partnership based on balance and reciprocity, as outlined in a statement from Moncloa Palace, the official residence of the Spanish president.

The European Union, which regards China as a “strategic partner,” has recently described China more frequently as a “systemic rival” or “strategic competitor” due to increasing political tensions, alongside recognizing China as a crucial trading and economic ally.

During their discussions, Sánchez acknowledged China’s significant role in contributing to global peace and stability, including in the Ukraine and Gaza conflicts, and addressing global challenges like the climate crisis.

In a related development, Wang Yi announced that China would lift a 24-year ban on beef imports from Spain, a move welcomed by Spanish Agriculture Minister Jose Manuel Albares as beneficial for Spanish farmers and the broader agricultural sector. This decision reverses a restriction imposed in 2000 following mad cow disease outbreaks in Europe.

Wang’s visit to Cordoba, following his participation in the Munich Security Conference in Germany, underscored China’s openness to importing more high-quality products from Spain. He highlighted the mutual commitment to promoting openness and cooperation, identifying electric vehicles, green energy, and the digital economy as new areas for bilateral cooperation. Wang assured that efforts would be made to provide a fair business environment to facilitate economic transformation and upgrades in both countries.

Additionally, cultural and people-to-people exchanges are to be enhanced, with Beijing agreeing to send a pair of pandas to Spain, continuing the tradition of panda diplomacy.

Wang also addressed the need for close coordination on political solutions to international conflicts, without providing specific details.

The AFP reported Albares’s statement supporting a two-state solution to the Gaza conflict, emphasizing the urgency of achieving an immediate ceasefire and supporting the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.

Wang’s visit to Spain, part of a broader diplomatic effort by Beijing to strengthen ties with Europe, included discussions on providing stability and certainty globally. In Munich, Wang engaged with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, advocating for cooperation against protectionism and for a predictable policy environment for economic and trade cooperation.

This meeting occurs amid strained China-Germany relations, with Germany’s new China strategy labeling China as a “systemic rival” and advising German companies to diversify away from Chinese dependency. Despite geopolitical tensions and competition, German investment in China increased last year, highlighting the complex interdependence between the two economies.
