On August 18th, Zhao Xiyuan, the Chinese Ambassador to Ireland, accepted a live interview with Sean Moncrieff, the host of Ireland's Radio "News Talk," to introduce China's position on issues such as the Ukraine crisis, China-U.S. relations, and China-Europe cooperation.

A Dutch company exporting a lithography machine to China earns profits equivalent to exporting 200,000 tons of pork to China. However, influenced by so-called national security factors and external pressures, we seem to lack sufficient trust in each other, leading to some obstacles in cooperation in these areas. If China and Europe continue to deepen mutual trust, both sides will be able to promote cooperation to achieve more and broader results
