🇪🇺🌍🇨🇳
The EU must now redefine our relationship with China to:
👉recognize the challenge China poses
👉 strengthen cooperation with our democratic allies
👉 defend our core values & international world order.

🇪🇺🌍🇨🇳
EPP welcomes China’s participation in global efforts to develop a #COVID19 vaccine.
We also recognise China’s attempts to control global narrative on COVID-19, deflect criticism of its own handling of the crisis & erode citizens’ trust in national & EU institutions
🇪🇺🌍🇨🇳
EPP calls for
👉an independent investigation into human rights violations against Uyghurs in Xinjiang
👉release of imprisoned human rights defenders, dissidents & others, incl. 🇸🇪citizen Gui Minhai
👉free access to Tibet
👉the finalisation of EU’s Global Sanctions Regime
As China has become a systemic rival to EU & challenge to liberal democracy, 🇪🇺must:
💻protect fundamental rights & individual data privacy
🇺🇸renew the transatlantic partnership
👉Work with 🇨🇳government on addressing global challenges
🇪🇺🌍🇨🇳
The EU must establish & enforce a level playing field for trading with China.
This means maintaining product standards by protecting against distortive effects of state-owned enterprises & enforcing intellectual property rights.
