Chinese society has undoubtedly been transformed in the space of two generations: it has become more urban, more affluent, more educated, more open to the world, and fond of consumption and technology.
Despite differences, which may continue to be present, the key point is both parties are willing to make adjustments and pursue diplomacy in search of the greater good, which means the EU-China relationship will continue to be defined by diplomacy as opposed to confrontation and a Cold War mentality.
China will stand for 30 percent of global growth in the next ten years at least.
Disagreements with China are nothing new and can occasionally intensify during turbulent times. When the dust settles, prudent politicians are expected to offer foresight amid uncertainty.
Increasing economic ties between Asia and Europe will be an irreversible trend on the world economic stage in decades to come.
If partners do not join hands in times of urgent need due to political reasons, dystopia will be the automatic result. Calmness and foresight must prevail. Good Sino-European relations will be beneficial for people in China, Europe and across the globe.
Washington hit the panic mode and has forced their hand on the Europeans in efforts to sabotage CAI. In response, the EU appears to have begun to retreat from their prior support with Beijing.
It is not China that needs to change its behaviour, but those countries that believe they can plunge the world into chaos under the guise of justice.
China’s new development paradigm with the domestic market as the mainstay and the internal and external markets reinforcing each other means it will not close its door to the outside world. Instead, China is building an open economy at a higher level while improving its economic resilience and competitiveness.
Their cooperation in international and regional affairs will surely promote the development trend of the world’s multipolarization and the establishment of a fair and reasonable new international political order.
After seven years’ investment of time and effort in reaching this agreement, it would be a pity if it simply came into existence and then brought about no change at all.
