Sánchez to Push China to Hand Over Tech Secrets on Beijing Trip

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is aiming to persuade Chinese companies to share more tech know-how with their Spanish partners on a trip to Beijing next week, according to people familiar with the preparations.

Spain and China plan to sign an investment agreement during the three-day visit that begins Saturday, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private negotiations. The deal, known as a High Quality Investment Agreement, aims to ensure that Chinese investments in Spain involve technology transfers to domestic companies, contracts for local suppliers and create jobs in the regions where they operate.
