Borrell: Relationship with China is becoming increasingly difficult

The High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrell, has taken an increasingly negative view of the situation between the European Union and China: „Relations are becoming increasingly difficult,“ Borrell said yesterday during a debate with MEPs in the EU Parliament in Brussels. The EU’s multi-layered approach must be pursued, Borrell stressed. Cooperation with the People’s Republic is essential on issues such as climate change, he said. However, Brussels must „keep in mind that we have different systems.“
