Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng called for stronger global economic collaboration during high-level talks with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva in Beijing this week. The meeting comes as the IMF Shanghai Center officially opened its doors on December 10, 2025 – a move being hailed as a 🚀 ‘game-changer’ for international financial cooperation.
He, who also sits on the CPC Central Committee’s Political Bureau, emphasized China’s ‘steady economic growth’ this year despite global challenges. ‘This isn’t just about numbers,’ he told reporters. ‘It’s about creating win-win partnerships that lift all boats.’ 🌊
Georgieva praised China’s role as an economic stabilizer, particularly through initiatives like the new Shanghai Center – the IMF’s first major operational base in Asia. ‘Think of it as the Avengers HQ for global finance,’ quipped one analyst. ‘But instead of fighting aliens, they’re battling inflation and market volatility.’ 💥
