China stands at a pivotal moment in its economic transformation as it enters the 15th Five-Year Plan period, shifting from export-driven growth to boosting domestic consumption while redefining its global partnerships amid a chaotic international landscape, according to Denis Depoux, the global managing director at Roland Berger. 

In an exclusive interview with CGTN's Guan Xin, Depoux shared insights on Beijing's policy priorities, the evolving China-EU relationship and his advice for Chinese companies navigating an increasingly fragmented world – from transforming their "going global" strategies to becoming "born global" through local investments and strategic partnerships.
