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.

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.

Cooperation, in a sense, is based on a very simple idea: we are stronger together.
