2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of China-EU diplomatic relations. Bernardo Mendia, Secretary General of the Portugal-China Chamber of Commerce and Industry, noted during an exclusive interview with China News Network that Portugal and China have built a successful partnership in wind, solar and ocean-related sectors, with bilateral trade exceeding USD 9.2 billion in 2024.
Mendia added that China is shifting from low-cost exports to high-tech, high-quality products. To foster a more balanced relationship, China is investing in factories in Europe, while Portugal seeks investment, technology transfer and job creation for mutual benefit. (Chen Tianhao)
