Hopes high for Li's visit to Germany

Business leaders expect Premier Li Keqiang's visit to Germany this week to show that China's reform and sustainable development strategy can produce greater opportunities.

"We are eager to hear his views about Chinese urbanization as well as about 'greening' the Chinese economy, especially with regard to solutions that European companies can offer," Jens Assmann, deputy director of the international department at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce, told China Daily.

China is increasingly becoming a new and very large consumer market for European companies and their products, he said.
