President Juncker and Commissioner Malmström at the 12th EU-China Business Summit

Commissioner Malmström: To conduct business — and for their daily lives — people need to be able to access free and independent information, communicate and discuss. This is a fundamental human right which also applies in the age of the internet.

This morning, President Juncker and Commissioner Malmström spoke at the 12th EU-China Business Summit, an event that provides an opportunity for EU and Chinese leaders to exchange views with representatives of the
business community on economic relations between the European Union and China and on the challenges that remain.

In his keynote speech, President Juncker said: “Our relationship is
founded on a shared commitment to openness and working together as part of a rules-based international system. I am glad that we can meet here today and say this, loud and clear. It is one that
recognises that together we can promote prosperity and sustainability at home and abroad. We applaud the ambition of China’s reform path. We recognise that reforms have been made and that plans
have been established. But we would like to see implementation speed up – so that your policies are in line with your world vision.”

In her speech, Commissioner Malmström
stressed that: “Sound economic development, trade and investment also require respect for the rule of law, with independent lawyers and judges who can operate freely and
independently. To conduct business – and for their daily lives – people need to be able to access free and independent information, communicate and discuss. This is a fundamental human right
which also applies in the age of the internet. Limits to online freedom also affect peoples’ lives and the business climate.” The Business Summit took place in the sidelines of the
19th Summit between the European Union and the People’s Republic of
China, which is currently ongoing.
