2024-03-11
The National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference are important windows for the outside world to understand China's relations with the world. On March 7th, Wang Yi, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, discussed the new era of China Europe relations at a press conference during the two sessions. He identified "partnership", "cooperation", "autonomy", and "win-win" as the correct positioning, mainstream tone, key values, and development prospects of China Europe relations, and used "multilateralism", "open development", and "dialogue among civilizations" as the key words to look forward to the direction of China Europe relations, It fully expresses the earnest expectations for the smooth and unimpeded development of China Europe relations along the way. Adhere to partner positioning and maintain strategic stability. The comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Europe has gone through 20 years and has formed a pattern of all-round, multi-level, and wide-ranging exchanges and cooperation. At present, China Europe relations are showing a good momentum of consolidation and development, and high-level dialogues in strategic, economic and trade, green, and digital fields have achieved rich results, which is a true reflection of China Europe's "cooperation far outweighs competition, consensus far outweighs differences". However, against the backdrop of rising protectionism, Cold War mentality, and a resurgence in group politics, negative views towards China such as "institutional adversaries" and "risk reduction" have emerged in Europe in recent years, disrupting the development of bilateral relations. Both parties cannot view each other as opponents due to differences in systems, cannot reduce cooperation due to competition, and cannot engage in confrontation due to differences. Looking back at the history of China Europe relations, as long as both sides adhere to the positioning of a comprehensive strategic partnership, maintain independence and autonomy, strengthen strategic communication, enhance understanding through constructive dialogue, and properly resolve differences, we can ensure the stability and long-term development of China Europe relations, injecting stability and positive energy into the ever-changing and intertwined international situation. Practice multilateralism and improve global governance. Both China and Europe are staunch supporters of world multipolarity and economic globalization, opposing factional confrontation and zero sum games, and opposing decoupling and disconnection. In promoting the construction of an equal and orderly world with multipolarity and inclusive economic globalization, China and Europe share common interests and responsibilities. They work together within a multilateral framework centered on the United Nations to promote political solutions to hot issues, gather international consensus on major issues, and build a community with a shared future for mankind. Faced with the worsening and prolonged crisis in Ukraine and the resurgence of the Israeli Palestinian conflict, the combined effects may trigger global crises such as refugees, energy, and food security. China and Europe should strengthen coordination and cooperation, and jointly play a positive role in promoting the cooling of the situation and maintaining world peace and stability. In the face of global climate and biodiversity challenges, China and Europe should practice true multilateralism, play a leading role, and work together to build a community of life on Earth. In the face of the global development deficit, China and the EU can promote the connection between the high-quality "the Belt and Road" initiative and the "Global Gateway" plan, and jointly make positive contributions to global prosperity and development and the realization of the United Nations sustainable development goals. Advocate for open development and achieve mutual benefit and win-win outcomes. Chinese path to modernization and European integration are strategic choices made by China and Europe with a view to the future. The two sides should respect and support each other, and strengthen the ties between the community of interests of China and Europe with deeper and broader cooperation to achieve
