ČSSD Vice-Chair Volfová: We cannot grow without China, we must learn from it

Jana Volfová, statutory vice-chair of the ČSSD, said: „I think it's a very big gauntlet thrown down and I think we should accept it because China is trying to open up to the world. It wants to help, it wants us to share and collaborate on a number of its projects and it is ready to cooperate with us. So that's a first.“

„Importantly, we have a lot of talk about ecology, but basically just talk. China is making it clear that it wants to go down the ecological, but sensible ecological path, backed by scientific research, and it wants to start helping the planet by doing that too,“ She added.

„So our job is to come together and support China, because if we want to grow our economy, we can't do it without China, it works scientifically, it tries to innovate scientifically, it tries to improve current industrial products, it tries to innovate them, and therefore, of course, reduce the burden both on their production and on the number of workforce that has to make them. So that is also the way we need to go. We are starting to fall behind. We have been an industrial country and we are starting to fall behind. We need to learn from China,“ concluded Volfová.
