China's Vice President Visits Spain, Strengthening Ties
China's Vice President, Han Zheng, went to Spain for a few days to meet the King and Prime Minister.
This is a sign that Spain and China are becoming closer friends in terms of business and politics.
The Spanish leader wants more Chinese companies to invest in things like electric car batteries and other new technologies.
Spain is also trying to sell more goods to China, like pork.
However, China's actions have impacted Spanish pork exports, though deals have been made to help this.
China's Vice President Han Zheng visited Spain for four days, meeting with King Felipe and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.
The visit signals strengthening economic and political ties between Spain and China.
Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez previously visited Beijing to attract Chinese investment in technology and trade.
A Spanish automaker and Chinese battery company are building a large EV battery factory in Spain.
China's anti-dumping inquiry into EU pork impacts Spain, but Sanchez secured expanded access for Spanish pork exports.
