He suggested that both sides further enhance collaboration in areas such as services, innovation, and third-party cooperation. He also called on Chinese-funded enterprises in the UK to strengthen self-discipline, engage in orderly competition, uphold the overall image of Chinese businesses, and enhance their capabilities in international operations and risk management.
