The three leaders of China and Germany will hold a video conference discussion on Monday (14th). It is expected that it will discuss issues such as trade, climate, and Hong Kong.This is a high -standard summit again after the Central European meeting on June 22.When the China -US wrestling is constantly heating up, the trend of Europe in the middle of Europe naturally attracts the attention of the international community.The most notable of this summit will be how the China -Europe is negotiating trade agreement will develop. Whether this agreement can play a key role in the entire international situation.
The China and European Trade Agreement will be the key
The China -EU Summit is about to be held. The most important thing about discussing issues is definitely a comprehensive investment agreement between China and Europe that has experienced long -term negotiations.The China -Europe Trade Agreement will further open the gate of China -Europe trade and investment and promote the economic exchanges between each other.China is in a comprehensive wrestling with the United States, and is trying to accelerate the economy of economy in the United States. Whether the China -Europe Trade Agreement can undoubtedly have an iconic significance through the results of de -USization.
Originally last year, China and the European Union reached an agreement in 2020 quite positive. However, the new championships broke out at the beginning of this year, disrupting the entire European economy. In a short period of time, it also caused questions from various countries to China, causing the agreement to fall into stagnation.At present, international is very concerned about the process of China -EU comprehensive investment agreement.According to the respective statement of China -Europe, although the agreement is indeed a somewhat extraordinary branch, it seems that it may only reach the last critical moment, and the agreement to reach the agreement may only be one step difference.
Last weekend, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited the European itinerary. It is estimated that a considerable part of the task was in the lobbying of the agreement.In an interview, Wang Yi said that China -EU ’s next cooperation must do six things. The second thing refers to the agreement that the agreement has reached the final stage. The two parties should increase their investment and make political decisions if necessary.It can be understood from his words that the technical and interest issues of the agreement are basically solved, and the remaining problems are political and non -economic issues.It can be said that the agreement has reached the point of Lingmen.And European news is also optimistic about the agreement.The German Business Daily quoted the Chinese EU Chamber of Commerce Chairman J? RG Wuttke that the agreement was expected to be reached in December this year.Wu Dike stated before the China -EU conference in June that he was worried that the agreement would not be completed within the year. Obviously, he was aware of the development of the meeting in a good direction.Moreover, in July this year, the EU Council's rotating chairman country in Germany, Prime Minister Merkel will also attend the meeting.Merkel has always advocated that Europe and Germany have to cooperate with China. This meeting is estimated to have a certain role in politically promoting the agreement.
Of course, this meeting may not be announced immediately, but from the agenda, if the agreement is signed this year, the meeting will probably show related news.
Hong Kong and other issues cannot overwhelm Sino -Europe cooperation
Some commented that there are huge differences in China and Europe, and there is too much room for cooperation, but it seems that the interference caused by differences is too much.In terms of ideology, it is really difficult for China Europe to reach a consensus on some issues. For example, the EU's criticism of the National Security Law of the Port Area cannot stop, and China cannot recover the regulations as the EU's words.The differences in political ideology, including Hong Kong issues, plays a certain hindrance role in China -EU relations, but should not be regarded as absolute.
These differences between China and Europe are likely to exist for a long time and have not been resolved, but the existence of the existence does not mean that there are no meaningful cooperation because of the existence of differences in China and Europe.Excessive emphasis on differences will only ignore the huge causes of China -Europe cooperation.At the moment when the United States is practicing unilateralism, Sino -Europe leaders emphasize the importance of multilateralism, and Sino -European Sylite -Vivier is still the most important driving force for both sides to continue to cooperate.Now that China and the United States, the United States clearly intends to engage in the new cold war again. For Europe, it must not want to be pulled into the Cold War -style camp again, but China insists on the global pattern of multilateralism.Europe can be regarded as the biggest victim of the Cold War in the United States and the Soviet Union.Objectively speaking, it is still necessary for Europe to continue to maintain a new Cold War with China with China.Or, if Europe is unwilling to cooperate with China, and the United States continues its unilateralism, the European Union has faced internal threats such as the ethnic polarism of various countries inside, and Brexit and other internal threats. Can that still be alone?
