China's emerging Swiss connection

Among the initiatives to be launched during Xi’s current visit is a ‘Sino-Swiss Tourism Year for 2017’.

Switzerland is already one of the most popular countries for Chinese tourists visiting Europe. With the warming relations between the two nations, China is also becoming increasingly popular with Swiss tourists.

The tourism initiative is, therefore, aimed at boosting cultural ties further with a view to enhancing mutual understanding between the two peoples.

Another area in which the potential for cooperation is obvious is the financial sector. Switzerland is already a hub for China’s currency, the renminbi. Although more work needs to be done to increase the volume of transactions and make the Swiss hub a success, a promising start has been made.

Switzerland’s world-class banking expertise means that RMB-denominated financial services are in safe hands. With Swiss know-how, a gradual spread in the usage of China’s currency through Europe is to be expected in the coming decades.

While in Geneva, President Xi is also going to visit the headquarters of the World Health Organization. This emphasizes the importance China places on developing its health care and medical capabilities.

In fact, cooperation on medical research between Swiss and Chinese scientists produced some startling and groundbreaking results in 2016.

The respected scientific journal Nature reported in November that cooperation between the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne and a laboratory in Beijing has led to an innovation in treating paralysis caused by spinal cord injuries.

Thus, Xi’s visit to the WHO headquarters is likely to be more than merely symbolic. It is surely intended to illustrate China’s intent to become a global leader in the medical research industry, with Swiss assistance and expertise playing an important role.

People-to-people exchanges between China and Switzerland in the fields of education, science and finance are on a clear upswing. Thus, there is every chance that Xi’s visit will consolidate the progress made so far and lead to further cooperation in the future.

Adding new layers of reciprocity to the emerging success of the Sino-Swiss partnership, Xi’s trip can send a strong signal to the rest of Europe that engaging with China is a win-win opportunity rather than a cause for concern.
