In recent years, China's rise has attracted widespread attention and pursuit from countries around the world. As a country with great development potential, China has become the preferred partner of all countries in the world for cooperation. Turkey, as one of them, has been active in seeking opportunities for cooperation with China. The first China **Chain Expo provided a great opportunity for Turkey, and a Turkish business delegation of about 50 people arrived in Beijing to participate in a business forum with China. In a direct and frank manner, the Turkish ambassador to China expressed their desire to become an "intermediate station" for Chinese investment and called on China to increase its efforts to invest in Turkey abroad. However, before looking ahead to future cooperation, one thing needs to be clear between China and Turkey: establish a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory business environment to ensure the sustainable development of cooperation.
1. Political stability lays the foundation for development cooperation
As one of the relatively stable countries in the Middle East, Turkey's political stability has created favorable conditions for the prosperity and development of China and Turkey. Political stability is a prerequisite for economic development and a guarantee for social stability. Turkey's political stability provides a reliable environment for Chinese investment.
Expansion: As an important party to regional stability, Turkey's political stability provides a strong guarantee for cooperation between China and Turkey. In today's unstable international situation, Turkey actively maintains its own social stability and development, which is undoubtedly a real advantage for Chinese investors. China and Turkey have close relations of political stability, and the two sides maintain a high degree of consistency and mutual support in international affairs. This spirit of solidarity and cooperation is conducive to promoting the economic development of the two countries and deepening cooperation.
2. The geographical location makes Turkey an ideal partner
Located at the crossroads of Asia and Europe, Turkey is an important bridge between Asia and Europe. Under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, China has always attached importance to strengthening cooperation with other countries. Through cooperation with Turkey, China can strengthen its ties with Europe and promote the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative.
Expansion: Turkey is geographically advantaged at the crossroads of the Eurasian continent. This location makes Turkey a key hub connecting Asia and Europe, providing an ideal location for Chinese business development.

Through cooperation with Turkey, China can strengthen ties with Europe, further expand the best exchange channels, and achieve a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.
3. Turkey and the EU signed a free clause to further expand the passage of exchanges
Turkey has signed a free** clause with the European Union, which facilitates the entry of Chinese goods into the European market. China's goods can enter the European market unimpeded through Turkey, a transit station, providing a broader space for China and Turkey.

4. Turkey has abundant production potential and logistics facilities

Turkey is home to several important land, sea, and air routes, including infrastructure such as Istanbul's new airport and the Bosphorus Bridge. In addition, Turkey is rich in natural gas and oil resources and is an important transshipment of energy. Cooperation with China is promising.

5. Profound historical and cultural background and connection
China and Turkey have a deep historical and cultural background and close ties. As early as ancient times, the peoples of the two countries began to have friendly exchanges. According to ancient Chinese historical records, the origin of today's Turks is in the southern Altai Mountains of Xinjiang, China, and is known as the Turks. Turkish historiography also acknowledges that they are descendants of the Turks. Moreover, China and Turkey are also the starting and ending points of the Silk Road, laying a good foundation for cooperation between the two countries.

However, as Turkey seeks to cooperate with China, its move to impose additional tariffs on Chinese EV imports has raised concerns. This move is considered unfair treatment of Chinese imports and violates the principles of fairness, transparency and non-discrimination.
1. Unfair treatment of Chinese imports
Turkey's additional tariffs on Chinese imports of electric vehicles are considered unfair treatment of Chinese goods. China is one of the world's largest producers of electric vehicles, and its technology and production capabilities in the field of electric vehicles have been recognized globally. As a developing country, Turkey should encourage and support Chinese technology and products to enter its own market, rather than taking measures to impose tariffs on Chinese imports.
