Talks on the investment deal began in 2014, but were stuck for years as the EU said China was failing to make good on promises to lift curbs on EU investment despite a pledge to open up the world’s second largest economy.
“We get much better market access and the protection of our investments in China. Better market access is something we have been working for for many years, and the Chinese have made quite a big step towards us,” a senior EU official said. Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin told a regular news briefing on Tuesday that talks had made huge progress and that China hopes a deal can come to fruition “at an early date”.
Under the agreement, China will also pledge to subscribe to the International Labour Organisation’s rules on forced labour.
EUも、ドイツをデカップリングすればいいと思う。

Getting into bed with dictators is a dangerous game.

Without Trump there would be no agreement between the EU and China. Trump and the ' new Republicans' have done everything to strengthen China and attack the eu.
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.
