China’s premier, Wen Jiabao, said the country remains ready to help Europe through its current debt crisis, but said Europe must recognize China as a full market conomy.

Addressing CEOs and policymakers at the summer World conomic Forum in Dalian, China, Wen said he had told European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso on a recent phone call that China was willing to invest more money in the region.

“Recognizing China as a full market conomy is a way a friend recognizes a friend,” Wen said.
