China believes Greece will remain within the eurozone and the region can solve its current problems, the Foreign Ministry said on Monday.

Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying made the remarks after Greek voters decisively rejected the terms of an international bailout.

Ding Chun, director of the Center for European Studies of Fudan University, said, "China wants to see Greece stay in the eurozone, just as Premier Li Keqiang said last week that China is in favor of a united and prosperous European Union and a strong euro."
