Simon Lichtenberg, Chairman of Danish Chamber of Commerce in China

目前丹麦企业在华投资主要在哪些领域？您认为政府工作报告中提及的扩大市场准入能给哪些领域带来更多机遇？

Where are Danish companies investing in China? Which fields can benefit from an expansion of market access as was mentioned in the government work report?

Denmark is very strong in pharmaceuticals, in renewable energy and green transition industries, in agriculture and food-related industries, in heating and cooling, and also in a lot of designer products and furniture-related things.

丹麦在制药行业、可再生能源和绿色转型行业、农业和食品相关行业、供暖和制冷行业，以及许多设计师产品和家具相关行业的实力都十分强劲。

Denmark is in fact the country in Europe with the largest per capita investment and trade with China and more than 10 billion dollars of investment.

实际上，丹麦是欧盟中人均对华投资和贸易额最大的国家，投资额超过100亿美元。

I think that China's transition and China's development is emphasizing a lot on high-quality development and also modern transition.

我认为中国的转型和发展十分重视高质量和现代化。

A lot of things around people's health where Denmark also has a lot to offer is also a very important part of the future policies.

在国民健康相关的领域，丹麦能（向中国）输出产品和技术，这也是对未来政策的一个非常重要的期待。

A green transition, the sustainable development for the two carbon goals for China. In that area, Denmark has a very strong position to be part of that development.

中国推动绿色转型和可持续发展，助力实现双碳目标。丹麦具有强大的优势参与这一领域的发展。

政府工作报告中提及更大力度吸引和利用外资。您认为哪些举措有利于吸引外资？

The government work report highlighted intensifying efforts to attract and utilize foreign investment. In your opinion, where do you think the government should focus these efforts?

There're a lot of government services and access to human resources, access to information, how do you book the taxes and the customs import export issues. All those things have really developed a lot.

中国在政务服务、人力资源和信息获取等方面，比如如何登记税收，以及海关进出口方面等，都有了很大的提升。

In terms of business access or market expansion, there's still a lot of things that can be done in terms of leveling the playing field and giving equal access to foreign and Chinese and especially Chinese state-owned enterprises.

在市场准入方面，促进公平的竞争环境，让外企享有同中国企业，特别是国有企业同等准入机会，这些方面能做得更好。

The direction is clearly further opening-up, modernizing China's development, more emphasis on foreign investments and better access to foreign investors. This is the overall direction.

我看到政府报告强调扩大对外开放，推动现代化发展和更大力度吸引和利用外资是总体方向。

The negative list is one part, that is the industries, but there’re the communication and the dialogue between the country's leadership but also between the businesses abroad and the businesses here is very critical in order to establish the trust between the parties.

优化市场准入的负面清单是一方面，而另一方面，政府部门之间，以及海内外企业之间的沟通和对话，对于建立双方之间的信任至关重要。
