Beijing -Chinesky President Xi JinPing called on the highest European Union officials on Thursday to “properly deal with differences and friction” by criticizing Brussels recent business events against Beijing at a tense summit that dominated the trade and the Ukrainian War.
The expectation was low at the Chinese capital summit that after weeks of escalation and guessing over its format, the duration was suddenly half for a single day on Beijing.
“The current challenges faced by Europe do not come from China,” said XI visit to the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and the chairman of the European Council Antonio Costa, said the state press agency Xinhua.
He called on the EU to “observe the opening of cooperation and properly deal with differences and friction” after von der Leyen had previously called for commercial ties with the second largest economy in the world and said that relations are at an “inflex point”.
“Improving competitiveness cannot rely on” building walls and strength “, Xi added by Xinhua.” “Disconnecting and breaking of chains” will only lead to isolation. ”
“We hope that the European site will maintain the trade and investment market open and refrain from using restrictive economic and business tools,” XI said.
During a meeting in the Grand Hall of Beijing, Von der Leyen XI said: “How our cooperation deepened, as well as imbalance,” according to the pool report.
“We have reached an infection point,” she added, urging China to “come up with real solutions”.
She talked about the EU’s business deficit with China, which last year ballooned for a historical EUR 305.8 billion.
EU business events last year focused on Chinese exports EV, among other things, and its officials have repeatedly complained of Chinese industrial excessive capacity.
In another shrouded criticism of the recent Hawkish attitude in Brussels in China, XI also warned the EU leaders to “make the right strategic decisions”.
Both EU officials are ready to meet the Chinese Prime Minister Li Qiang later. Both parties hope to achieve a modest climate statement, now one of the rare clear places in cooperation.
At the beginning of the second term of US President Donald Trump, both parties had more consensus in cooperation on solving business problems from the United States, said Cui Hongjian, professor of foreign policy at the University of Beijing in foreign studies.
“The situation has changed recently,” Cui said. “The EU has continued to compromise with the United States, which means that the EU-Chinese binding incitement is currently missing to approach.”
The call to the summit has been recorded by Tit-for-Tat and Hawkish, such as the accusation of July 8 von der Leyen, that China is flooding global markets due to its excessive capacity and “allowing Russian war economy”.
In the X on Thursday, however, von der Leyen hit the conciliation tone and described the summit as the opportunity to “proceed and again balance our relationship”.
Electric vehicles and Chinese inspections of rare soil exports that have disrupted supply chains around the world are expected to educate the topics in interviews, which caused temporary stops in European automotive production lines in May.
However, Chinese exports of rare soil magnets to the EU increased by 245% in June in June to cost 1,364 metric tonnes, although it was still 35% lower than the annual data, it showed customs data.
The EU is likely to conclude a trade agreement with the United States on a wide tariff of 15% of its export after intensive negotiations and prevents a harder 30% threatened by President Donald Trump.
