脱炭素・医療分野の協業議論　中国発展改革委と意見交換―財界訪中団

　【北京時事】日中経済協会（日中経協）と経団連などで構成する財界訪中団は２４日、中国の経済政策を担う国家発展改革委員会との間で、脱炭素化や医療分野での協業について意見交換した。冒頭、日中経協の進藤孝生会長（日本製鉄会長）は「協力実現のためには、情報通信分野での規制や、反スパイ法など国家安全に関わる法制度の透明性を欠いた運用の懸念払拭が求められる」とビジネス環境の改善を要請した。
　また、経団連の十倉雅和会長は「少子高齢化と人口減少は日中がともに直面する課題。カーボンニュートラル実現という共通のゴールを目指す上でも、両国には大きな連携協力の余地がある」と呼び掛けた。これに対し、国家発展改革委の劉蘇社副主任は「中日は今、改善の重要な段階にあるが、複雑な要素も抱えている。両国が協力を深め、より高いレベルの互恵関係を築きたい」と応じた。（2024/01/24-16:41）

A delegation of Japanese business leaders Wednesday called on a Chinese government commission to improve the business environment in China, in a bid to promote cooperation in tackling common issues facing the two countries.
   In order for the Japanese and Chinese sides to work together, China will need to address concerns over its restrictions in the telecommunications field and lack of transparency in the operation of its national security-related legal systems, such as the revised antiespionage law, Kosei Shindo, chief of the Japan-China Economic Association and chairman of Nippon Steel Corp., said in a meeting in Beijing.
   In the meeting, the delegation of people from groups including the association and the Japan Business Federation, also known as Keidanren, discussed cooperation over decarbonization efforts and in the medical field with officials of China's National Development and Reform Commission, tasked with China's economic policies.
   Japan and China both face aging societies with declining birthrates, Keidanren Chairman Masakazu Tokura said.
   There is leeway for Japan-China cooperation, especially since the two nations each aim to achieve a carbon neutral society, he added.
