We share the same challenges, and we need to bring Chinese wisdom into the global system.
We share the same challenges, and we need to bring Chinese wisdom into the global system.
EU institutions and member states will hopefully gain an objective and accurate perception of China, rise above ideological antagonism, transcend systemic confrontation and firmly pursue peaceful coexistence and mutual benefit in their China policies.
Facing the rising of China, the West also needs a spirit of innovation to get rid of its old dogmas to accept the reality as it is and built a renewed international governance.
If I would use three words only to describe the links between China and Luxembourg, these would be excellence, friendship and respect.
China’s rise and economic power are part of the solution, not the problem.
Germany and China will both benefit from each other if the two sides continue to engage in open dialogue and pursue pragmatic cooperation.
In the decade since its launch, China’s Belt and Road Initiative has proven to be an important engine of growth across the world.
In the era of globalization, the international community should learn to coexist in harmony and cooperate in areas like security, development, climate and energy. After all, no person is an island entire of itself.
The irreversible trend of globalization continues to flourish despite the current geopolitical twists and turns. People’s call for a better life can only be met through cooperation instead of isolation and confrontation.
If a mechanism for high-level dialogue and coordination can be established, EU could act as a mediator between China and the U.S., rather than completely siding with the U.S., thus maintaining its relative independence.
A mechanism for high-level dialogue and coordination between China, the U.S. and the EU would play a positive role in promoting world peace and common development.
A stable EUR and a prosperous Eurozone are in line with the Chinese economic development. China’s policy during the Eurozone debt crisis is edifying, and its principles remain the same.
