He also said the Chinese government does not pursue a trade surplus with Italy. China is confident about expanding the scale of cooperation in trade with Italy, and hopes to tap the potential of practical cooperation. And the new deals worth 8 billion euros ($ 10 billion) which the two countries have signed will further boost bilateral trade and investment.
