To deal with global economic challenges together, China -EU issued positive signals

A few days ago, Liu He, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council, and the executive vice chairman of the European Commission, East Brovskis, co -hosted the ninth Sino -European economic and trade high -level dialogue in the form of a video conference. The two parties confirmed that they would work together to earnestly implement President Xi Jinping and the chairman of the European Council Michelle and the EU Council Chairman Feng Delin video meeting and the important consensus reached by the 23rd China -EU leadership meeting to enhance mutual understanding. Promote the pragmatic cooperation between China and Europe's economic and trade fields, and respond to the uncertainty of the world economic situation with the stability of China -EU cooperation.

At present, the century -old changes are overwhelming the century's epidemic, the regional situation continues to be tight, the world has entered a period of turbulent change, uncertainty continues to increase, and the world economic recovery has been difficult to twists and turns. The China -EU dialogue reached a series of achievements and consensus, involving macroeconomic policy coordination, industrial chain supply chain cooperation, World Trade Organization reform, expanding market opening, the implementation of the Sino -European geographical logo agreement, animal and plant inspection and quarantine, two -way opening and supervision cooperation in financial industry, etc. Many areas. This is a positive signal that China and EU have a joint response to global economic challenges.

Economic and trade cooperation is the cockpit stone and propeller of China -Europe relations. In the 47th year of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the European Europe, although it has changed throughout the situation, it has always maintained the main tone of cooperation, injecting strong positive energy into the economic development of the two parties. After the outbreak of the new coronary pneumonia, China -Europe economic and trade cooperation rose against the trend, showing strong toughness and surging vitality. In 2021, China is the European Union's largest trading partner, the largest source of imports, and the third largest export market; the EU is China's second largest trading partner, the second largest source of imports, and the second largest export market. According to the latest data from the Ministry of Commerce of China, since this year, China -EU trade has maintained a steady development. In the first half of the year, bilateral trade volume reached 420.6 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 8.4%year -on -year. It is expected to maintain a healthy development momentum throughout the year. In March of this year, the Geographic Symbol Agreement of China and the European EU officially took effect, and China became the second largest export destination of the EU geographical logo product. China -EU trains overcome multiple difficulties and maintain safe and stable operation. At present, the Central and European trains have reached more than 190 cities in 24 European countries, forming a logistics network that connects Asia -Europe, which not only made positive contributions to stabilizing the global industrial chain supply chain and promoting the recovery of the world economy. A "bridge of life". As of the end of June this year, China -EU trains have sent a total of 14.17 million epidemic prevention materials, totaling 109,000 tons.

Sino -European economic and trade cooperation is the actual needs of both parties, which can fully achieve mutual benefit and win -win. Recently, some people in Europe advocated "China -EU contact theory" and "China -Europe Economic and Trade Desplay theory", but the EU countries generally look forward to Sino -European cooperation. China -Europe has established a comprehensive strategic partnership, which is an opportunity for each other rather than threats, and common interests are far greater than differences. For the European Union, multiple member states are facing risks such as high inflation and economic recession, and have recently reduced growth expectations. Expanding China -Europe cooperation will help boost the confidence in the European market in trouble, improve the market's expectations of the EU's economic recovery, and stabilize the European economy and financial markets. For China, strengthening China -EU cooperation will help stabilize the external market and promote the continuous recovery of China's economy. Sino -European cooperation is a disadvantage, and EU companies that deeply cultivate the Chinese market have the most say. A recent investigation report released by the Chinese EU Chamber of Commerce shows that most of the companies in China have benefited from innovative research and development in China and will continue this strategy. 75%of the interviewed companies said it would increase investment in China, and 18%of companies said that they would maintain the existing level of R & D.

The deepening of economic and trade cooperation between China and the EU is conducive to the uncertainty of the world economy. China and the European Union are the second and third largest economies in the world. In 2021, China's total economy reached US $ 1.773 trillion, and the total economic volume of 27 countries in the EU exceeded US $ 17 trillion. Nowadays, the risk of global economic recession, the increase in financial market fluctuations, and the continued tension of geopolitical politics, and China Europe cannot be alone. Working together to maintain multilateralism, oppose unilateralism, and sincerely strengthen economic and trade cooperation in various fields in China and Europe, can not only hold group heating, and jointly respond to the huge impact of the global supply chain industry chain and financial services. Boost global economic confidence, and provide a strong motivation for the world economic recovery of the post -epidemic era. This is also the international responsibility of Central Europe as the world's two major economies.

As the two important forces, two major economies, and two civilizations in the multi -pole world, China and the European Europe should maintain the basic positioning of partnerships, maintain positive momentum of dialogue communication, consolidate consensus, deepen cooperation, and jointly promote Sino -European relations. The turbulent world injects more stability and certainty.
