Abstract

[From the Introduction]. EU-China relations have experienced some difficulties since 2005. Some scholars expressed deep concern about its future development.(1) This paper studies the shared and conflicting interests and concerns in EU-China relations and points out that the increasing degree of interdependence and the necessity of cooperation in strategic international affairs require the EU and China to build a long-term partnership. The examination of EU-China relations in this research indicates that it is for mutual benefit that the two sides need to maintain a stable and cooperative partnership. ...This paper will have a close look at some issues of mutual concern to find out the overlapping and conflicting interests between the EU and China. Then, it will examine the promises and problems of the relationship. Such efforts aim to identify the commonalities and differences between the two sides and to point out why it is possible for a long-term partnership to be built between the EU and China.
