The visit of China’s Premier Li Keqiang to India brought progress on trade agreements and a new goal to achieve $100 billion in bilateral trade during 2015. The visit helped restore relations, overwrought since territorial incursions, between the two nations which account for nearly two-fifths of global trade. “It will take more than a few trade deals to overcome the suspicion with which India regards its eastern neighbour… But deeper economic ties are a good place to start, as long as both sides play fair. The greater the trade, the better the chance that trust will follow in its wake.”

China’s vice-premier Li Keqiang writes of strengthening ties between China and Europe, which now trade over $1.5 billion of goods daily. “Economically, both regions have much to benefit from each other’s strength; this is the defining feature of China-EU relations. When ‘designed in Europe’ is combined with ‘made in China’ and when European technologies are applied to the Chinese market, there will be amazing results.”
