The Chinese nation has a civilization history of over 5000 years and has always opposed militarism, bullying the weak, and the inevitable hegemony of a strong country. China's development is aimed at enabling the Chinese people to live a good life. At the same time, China firmly upholds its sovereignty, security, and development interests, and will never allow any force to deprive the Chinese people of their right to pursue happiness. China and Europe should focus on cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win results, support economic globalization and trade liberalization, engage in in-depth dialogue and communication on issues in economic and trade cooperation, and reach mutually acceptable arrangements through consultation. China is an important partner for Europe to address challenges such as energy and inflation, and enhance competitiveness. We welcome the European side to continue sharing the dividends of China's development. China firmly adheres to an independent foreign policy of peace and respects the right of people of all countries to choose their own development path. China's development of bilateral relations with any country is not targeted, dependent, or constrained by third parties. China and Europe should face differences, manage differences, and respect each other. I hope that the European Commission will focus on the fundamental and long-term interests of the EU, start from the overall situation of China Europe relations, and play a positive role in the healthy and stable development of China Europe relations. Von der Leyen said that China has a long history and profound culture, and the exchanges and mutual learning between European and Chinese civilizations have a positive impact on both sides and the world. There is a lot of consensus between Europe and China in addressing global challenges such as climate change and resolving regional disputes through political means. Both sides should work together to contribute to maintaining world peace and stability. The European side completely disagrees with the practice of "decoupling and chain breaking" and hopes to strengthen exchanges and dialogue with China, restart the three dialogue mechanisms as soon as possible, and carry out more mutually beneficial cooperation. If anyone writes on a Chinese issue, the Chinese government and people will never agree; If anyone expects China to compromise and compromise on the Taiwan issue, it is wishful thinking and will only lift a stone and hit their own feet. Von der Leyen reiterated that the EU has no intention of changing its long-term one China policy, recognizing that the Government of the People's Republic of China is the only legitimate government representing the whole of China, and hopes that the Taiwan Strait region will maintain peace and stability. Wang Yi, Qin Gang, and others attended the meeting. (New News Agency)
