“When looking at Türkiye, a large portion of the intermediate goods it imports from China is further processed in Türkiye and then re-exported to other countries. This alone demonstrates how integrated Turkish-Chinese collaboration is with third parties. Therefore, the two countries coming together on different platforms not only benefits themselves but also creates a positive impact on the global economy.”
