Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit Europe from May 5 to 10. "I think it's excellent," said Jens Eskelund, the president of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China. He stressed the importance of viewing Europe as "an autonomous actor" and approaching the China-EU relationship without a "U.S. filter." When discussing European companies' confidence in the Chinese market, he stated that the EU Chamber's 1,800 members remain committed to China, saying, "No one is running for the exit here."
