Wen Jiabao, Chinese premier, called on debt-laden European countries on the 14 September 2011 to put their 'own houses in order' before asking China for a bail-out, in a sign of Beijing’s reluctance to be cast as a saviour for the global economy. Speaking at the opening of the World Economic Forum in Dalian, China, Mr Wen also publicly linked Chinese investments for the first time with long-standing political demands, indicating a possible hardening of China’s position towards crisis-hit Europe. He said Europe needed to take 'bold steps' in order to receive Chinese help and the first of those steps was a decision to formally grant China full 'market economy' status. |
