China's heir apparent to visit Ireland this month


The visit is recognition of Ireland’s significance in China’s view of Europe and takes place as Europe is eager for China’s help in supporting measures to prop up the euro zone.

The Chinese leadership is known to admire Ireland’s transition from an agrarian to a high-tech society, and has also acknowledged Ireland’s efforts to work its way out of debt. It also sees Ireland as a potential foothold into the wider European market.
