According to multiple reports, the deal would open up China's manufacturing sector to EU companies, as well as construction, advertising, air transport and telecoms.
The pact is also designed to remove barriers to investment in China such as joint-venture requirements and caps on foreign ownership in certain industries. This is a contentious issue given reports that China uses Uighur Muslims detained in large numbers in the Xinjiang province as forced labour. Beijing denies these claims.
China this, China that. We need to drop China and their cheap labour.
And the gradual step towards global communism just inches a teeeeeeeny bit closer.... Well quite a lot closer I suppose.
Maybe a nice healthy wet market 😟
Why aren’t the BBC mentioning our deals with other nations
You let us sell you our exports and we’ll give you free COVID-19 in return.
This is what it feels like to watch big, important, powerful players decide the future of the world while we sit in the stalls fiddling with fish. Get used to being vassals of one or other. Better hope it's the EU. Best not to piss off the new management.
So what this means is EU will borrow money from China, buy more goods from China, pay money back with interest and to top it off will grant them money to use on local community projects which will really be kickbacks to EU politicians and commissioners? Change my mind
The EU is at least being open about its contempt for moral norms.
The possibility of China and the EU deciding to reach an investment pact hinges on how they envision their future economic partnership and how they wish to balance bilateral ties with each other and with America.
This will end in tears.
MilkTeaAlliance - never learn
wow vonderleyen CCP lie. sign deal with a genocide authoritarian tyranny? Labour protection Xingiang?StandWithHongKong Taiwanisacountry TianamenSquareMassacre is Europarl_EN asleep? Or is it HerbertDiess syndrome .. VW Volkswagen denial VWGroup
Nice to see Communism sweeping across Europe. We got out just in time Brexit
Doesn’t all that slave labour give China a competitive advantage?
Why are we still trading with China, coronavirus was not an accident, wake up !
Let’s hope not
Yep everyone pretends to hate on China while doing business with them. Nearly every major company you can name has a shop in the country. Go to Shanghai it's like being in London. Without the crime naturally.
💩 maybe extension of a current deal, why? they big 🇪🇺 firms will not want to break there quick deals with the beast of the east 👀🤔🤷♂️😷
China already provides 40% of UK mobile phone infrastructure and are deciding whether to build a nuclear power plant for us.
Erasmus programme for 2021 intake.
EU standing up for the little guys as always. What the world needs is more money ties to CCP.
Dried bat soup is all the rage I hear amid the EU glitterati.
trussliz while you were sleeping and facilitating your Brexit fraud puppet masters!
Get it done before some Belgium state destroys it
Imagine for one moment what the Twitter response would have been if the UK had signed a deal with China. Forced labour, jailing journalists, etc etc. Bravo EU. Bravo. 👏👏
Massive strategic mistake
And to think for a moment that the hard remainers are afraid of what might happen to employment rights in the UK after Brexit 😬I guess forced labour is ok if the EU sign up to it. 👍
Good on them. This country want deals with lowly countries with tiny economies
If the UK isn't happy they should have kept their seat at the EU table and could veto deals they didn't like..but now the UK is a nobody on the world stage but they need us more than we need them 🤣🤣🤣
You couldn't write this.... Who in their right mind would NOW make any deal with china. Everyone should boycottchina. They are responsible for thousands of deaths, as they didn't advise. Eu BorisJohnson MichelBarnier Queen_Europe Europe
oh dear...
Brits complaining of mis,trust, corruption, human rights, anti EU.😂 China set to overtake US as a Global giant. Have monopoly on raw materials all over the world, tech giants and manufacturing. Its a great deal for EU. Lots of bitter Brexit gammons.
Brilliant. A million Uighurs can't be wrong.
Only China will gain. Check the history, ask the other countries who have taken CCP cash. Control - just one word.
Just think how much money that will bring in to us since were in the EU! Oh forgot were just about to be dragged out of it by right wing racists! Oh well im sure our new 50k trade deal with Outer Mongolia will keep us going !BrexitReality brexitdisaster
Yet Guy V (belgium) rants about China & how EU will NOT tollerate their treatment of their people. Seems money does talk. China wld spit at such deals is USA had not had such backbone.
So from comments that China has alleged Human Rights abuses, EU shouldn't trade with them...reminder we Trade and sell Military arms to Saudi Arabia, and many countries to 'encourage' civil war!
On the verge of a of a major investment disaster - close ties with China will have only 1 winner, China. Look at what they have done in Africa!
Proof that the virus was dropped into their countries will most likely break this deal.
China buys another continent. The Chinese regime is vile and lies.
Just like before WWII, Hitler got full support of German people. Germans and majoriry of the EU people do not really care outside people. How many black and other color people in EU parliament? Compares to NA, EU still a racism land
With all the (alleged) human rights abuses in China, how can the EU be so comfortable getting into bed with them. Makes a mockery of the ECHR principles.
What is China gonna build you all more hospitals What an insult to your 1,000’s of citizens that died of Covid
Pakistan and China together for the development of the world -
MoneyOverMorals wins again 😔
Delay to 2022+See what WHO COVID investigation finds out in Wuhan. Our slippery friends will probably interfere with it but if WHO says they are being blocked then we know they are hiding the truth and can cancel things worldwide and adopt international programme of intervention
Germany sideing with the asians again in its bid to conquer the world.
What are they going to pay for the virus 🦠 disruption ?
If China can adhere, ok. What if they don't?
Why is the west trading with a country that is once step short of being the nazis of the 21st century?
Phew! We got out just in time! 👍🏼👍🏼😀😀
EU should speak to Australia before they sign up and find out what they do if you upset them!!
It all started in the 3rd world then they reduced to the same level begging for handouts!
Human rights V Money =Trade deal
Sickening and disgraceful!
It'll be in the contract that the EU never criticises China.
China's Colonization by Cash (Belt and Road) critically depends upon corruption in host Governments - a pretty safe gamble. Siphoning cash, technology and snaring the chain of production with the bonus of political control over loan defaulters makes it win-win for the CCP.
BBC you know dam we'll The China 🇨🇳 can't make a deal with the EU. THE EU HAS TO PUT 12% EXTRA TARRIFS ON THERE CARS AND CHINA 🇨🇳 HAS REJECTED IT .PROPERGANDER NEWS AGAIN. COMMUNIST. I KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU AND PALESTINE 🇵🇸 AND HAMAS AGAINST THE JEWS LABOUR SUPPORTERS. 🇬🇧🇬🇧
You're going wrong EU. This is going to be your major mistake and a pitfall in the future.
A Chinese court on Monday sentenced citizen journalist Zhang Zhan who reported on the coronavirus outbreak in the central Chinese city of Wuhan to four years in prison. Now let that sink in.
When the British American dog left, EU had more autonomy.
Nothing is going to be as written, unless Xitler likes it.
Get more involved with those people, what could possibly go wrong
Don't you think we deserve answers first?
why are so many negative tweets here against EU? asking for a friend
The EU is a disgrace, shameful.
they would steal the technology They could hack computers in EU too
TheGreatReset Xi brought the west to its knees aided and abetted by all the usual suspects!! Chairman Winnie take a bow
👎🏼 👎🏼 👎🏼 Don’t be fooled by the CCP!
The whole world is corrupt. All our friends are enemies.
That's nothing compared to our fish 😂🤣
Goodbye the EU
You can trust China, just ask Australia
We know you do horrible shit, but we like money. And relevance.
Let's do business with the country who delayed reporting the virus and fucked the world.
Right. While we are letting paranoia and scapegoating drive our decisions, EU is chummy with China. You pp are easy to fool.
