I disagree with the assertion, and I ask myself against what benchmark the EU is measured here. The EU’s 2019 China Communication sets out a comprehensive strategy that treats China simultaneously as a negotiating partner, an ec competitor and a systemic rival. 1/5 This captures the complexity of China and of our relationship with Beijing. We share the same planet, without engaging China in the rules-based system, whether on climate or trade, we will not be able to address the global challenges we face. 2/5
