China says Turkey will overcome economic crisis as currency falls to record low

China believes Turkey has the ability to overcome temporary economic difficulties, the Asian nation's foreign ministry said.

China believes Turkey has the ability to overcome temporary economic difficulties, the Asian nation's foreign ministry said on Friday, adding that it hoped the relevant parties would resolve their disputes through dialogue.

China supports Chinese and Turkish companies to sign cooperation projects based on market rules, its spokesman, Lu Kang, said in a statement on the foreign ministry's website.

Turkey's economic crisis couldn't possibly be because country is "led by someone who believes high interest rates cause inflation (which is exactly backward)." When you're an autocrat, no one dares contradict you. It's so much easier to blame foreigners. https://t.co/7fvmWpQtua pic.twitter.com/SOMBzAfnXU
