Like the ancient Silk Road, connecting the East and the West, there is not only the circulation of goods, but also cultural integration and political games, this road seems to be filled with a trace of tension, the ninth round of China-EU negotiations launched, like a rough sea, throwing a test stone
Trade between China and Europe has long been inseparable, China's manufacturing industry provides Europe with rich goods, and European advanced technology has also injected vitality into China's development, this mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, but facing new challenges, the influence of United States factors, trade protectionism rise, all add uncertainty to China-EU relations
One of the focal points of the EU-China negotiations is the issue of tariffs on electric vehicles, and the EU's plan to impose high tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles has aroused strong dissatisfaction from China, which violates the principles of free trade and is not conducive to global economic recovery, while the EU argues that this is to protect its own industry and maintain a level playing field
Some member states, such as France and Germany, are more dependent on China's economy and prefer to solve problems through dialogue and consultation, while others are more sensitive to the challenges posed by China's rise and advocate a tough stance to safeguard their own interests
Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban has publicly stated that it is important for Hungary's economic development not to offend China and to maintain good relations with China, and that Chinese investment in Hungary will create local jobs and improve infrastructure
European Commission President von der Leyen expressed concern about Hungary's position, believing that this may damage EU unity, and the EU needs to be consistent in its China policy in order to better safeguard its own interests
Historical accumulation, cultural differences, and differences in political systems have made it difficult for the two sides to reach consensus on some issues
Both China and the EU should realize that confrontation will only hurt both sides, cooperation can be mutually beneficial and win-win, and the best way to solve problems can be found through dialogue and consultation
For China, it should continue to maintain an open attitude, actively participate in international cooperation, and firmly safeguard its own legitimate rights and interests, and not be led by the nose by other countries, while the EU needs to look at its relationship with China more pragmatically and avoid being swayed by ideological and geopolitical factors
The future of China-EU relations depends on the choice of both sides: confrontation or cooperation. This is a problem that needs to be seriously considered, and only with a more open mind and a more pragmatic attitude can we find a mutually beneficial and win-win path
China-EU cooperation is not only related to the interests of both sides, but also of great significance to the stability and development of the global economy
We will wait and see whether a breakthrough can be made in the ninth round of China-EU consultations, but no matter what the outcome is, China and the EU should maintain communication and dialogue, enhance mutual understanding, and contribute to building a more stable and prosperous world
The future of China-EU relations is also full of opportunities, and as long as both sides can take a more long-term vision and be more inclusive, they will be able to overcome difficulties and move towards a better future
It is not only economic cooperation, but also cultural exchanges, and the two sides can better understand each other.
In the wave of globalization, the importance of China-EU relations has become increasingly prominent, and the two sides should work together to address global challenges and contribute to building a community with a shared future for mankind
The ninth round of China-EU consultations has provided an important communication platform for both sides, and it is hoped that both sides can seize the opportunity.
The future of China-EU relations is in the hands of both sides, and let us look forward to more fruitful cooperation between China and the EU
Orban is well aware that cooperation with China is crucial to the future of Hungary, and under the current complex international situation, Hungary needs to maintain a pragmatic attitude, safeguard its core interests, and maintain friendly and cooperative relations with China, which is in line with Hungary's national interests and conducive to the stable development of China-EU relations
Hungary's position has also aroused some concerns within the EU, and some EU officials believe that Hungary's pro-China stance may weaken the EU's unity and consistency on the China issue, and if each member state does its own thing, it will be difficult for the EU to form a unified China policy, thus putting it in a disadvantageous position in the game with China
President von der Leyen's criticism of Orban also reflects this concern within the EU, and EU member states should be consistent on the China issue and jointly safeguard EU interests, and how to balance the individual interests of member states and the interests of the EU as a whole is a complex and thorny issue
The development of China-EU relations has never been smooth sailing, and there are historical accumulations, cultural differences, and differences in political systems between the two sides, which make it difficult for the two sides to reach consensus on some issues, and even cause friction and conflict
Today, with the deepening of globalization, cooperation between China and the EU is more important than ever, and both sides are important economies in the world and shoulder important responsibilities in safeguarding world peace and promoting common development
It is not only conducive to the development of the two sides, but also to the stability and prosperity of the global economy, and the two sides can complement each other's strengths and jointly address global challenges, such as climate change, epidemic prevention and control, and economic recovery
The ninth round of China-EU consultations provides an important platform for communication between the two sides, and the two sides should seize the opportunity to enhance mutual understanding and promote the development of China-EU relations in a healthier and more stable direction
The future of China-EU relations depends on the choice of both sides: confrontation or cooperation. This is a problem that needs to be seriously considered, and only with a more open mind and a more pragmatic attitude can we find a mutually beneficial and win-win path
The cooperation between China and the EU is not only economic cooperation, but also cultural exchanges, and the two sides can better understand each other.

Like a rushing river, sometimes choppy, sometimes calm as a mirror, but no matter what, the river will continue to move forward, connecting East and West, connecting past, present and future
The ninth round of China-EU consultations is like a bridge built on this river, connecting the hopes and dreams of both sides, hoping that this bridge will be stronger and carry the future of China-EU cooperation
