Support for a Greece-creditors deal came from far-off China on Wednesday, with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang expressing his hope that Greece remains in the eurozone — with the subsequent economic turbulence thus avoided.
Curiously enough, the Chinese leader also expressed support for European integration, saying he wanted to see a united, prosperous Europe with a strong euro. Such a continent, of course, makes for a better customer and partner for Chinese manufacturers, exports, investors and travelers.
Li made the remarks on the sidelines of a visit to the country by Belgium’s King Philippe.
