China and the EU are likely to clinch a deal this week that would give EU firms better access to the Chinese market, improve competition conditions and protect EU investment in China, European officials said

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。

Wow, so much of “Holding China accountable”.

Getting into bed with dictators is a dangerous game.

Deals with CCP not worth the paper written on. CCP has little regard in honouring agreements

Wtf, has anybody in europe read the news in 2020?

milpitas95035 欧盟与中共【跨国犯罪集团】签署协议,无异也加入了【跨国犯罪集团】。 国际社会对待中共匪帮唯一正确的选项,就是干净、彻底、全部予以消灭!除此之外,别无选择。

Kafka60613837 CCPChina has never honored any of the promises it has made since its inception, regardless of to whom the promises were made. How could EU be so naive to believe in CCP delivering its promises! ChinaLiedPeopleDied

1 country 2 systems was a lie, 🇨🇳 China broke their promise to Sino-British Joint Declaration, zero credibility

Some politicians are owned by China, so why not

Bad choice ever. EU is becoming more confused. China of all nations

The new normal in action...! Oceania gone wild. (has anyone else noticed that looking up 1984 on Google has now become all about N. Korea? A new 2020 thing. Likely only artist's will see it. People do lack. not to be rude, but lack, void, devoid. space. lol

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.
