President Xi Jingping and Premier Li Keqiang have launched the global initiatives “one belt, one road” and “expansion of free world trade.”
In the course of this, local Chinese governments in the cities of Hangzhou, Huaian, Najing, Chongqing and Taiyuan have created with the support of the DEZ “marketplaces” for European medium-sized enterprises.

DEZ sees itself as a partner and intermediary between German and Chinese medium-sized companies.
