‘The
EU sees China as a partner for cooperation, an economic competitor and a
systemic rival. However, EU-China relations have become increasingly complex
due to a growing number of irritants. China has become less open to the world
and more repressive at home, while taking a more assertive posture abroad,
resorting to economic coercion, boycotts of European goods, and export controls
on critical raw materials.’
