EU-China relations are extensive and complex.

How we manage our relations will impact our prosperity and security.

In today’s meeting with China's Premier Li, president von der Leyen discussed how to rebalance trade.

Her meeting together with President Macron and President Xi was an opportunity to also address the imbalances in our economic relations and look at cooperation on pressing global issues like Russia’s war and climate change.

@EU_Commission What's with the massive tables in all these places.

Kalin

@EU_Commission having the Commission President at the table is a huge recognition for the EU institutions. This is excellent.

@EU_Commission That table! Is that a Covid table or does someone needs to compensate for something?

@EU_Commission Didn't work with Russia on G8 2008, it's not gonna work with China in the present or any authoritarian regime in the future. It's hard enough to build a trusting relationship between democracies. Whenever we can, we must reduce these ties to the bare minimum and give preference to that Nations who, at least, try to or wish to switch to a more democratic regime. Dictatorships care about dictatorship and nothing else. They don't respect their people, let alone other Nation's people.

@EU_Commission Talking about the trades, how many Uigurs are worth our cheap products? How for Tiananmen protesters? For Tibet people? For minorities? For people in concentration camps, or child labor, opposition, freedom of speech? How much pollution are we outsourcing to their poor people for our greed, deluding ourselves to be environmentalists? Even as democracies we struggle to respect Human, Social and Civil Rights, let's not legitimize oppression elsewhere because we don't want to see.
