A China You want to deal with European Union The Chinese ambassador to Spain said as a partner and not as a competitor USAIt described it as one -sided economic mistreatment.
Yao Jing Reuters told the European Union’s 2019 strategy, which China was known as “its partner for cooperation, economic competition and systematic competition”, was not logical, because both open markets and bases -based trade.
“We must focus on the partnership. China will not be a threat or any kind of enemy of the European Union,” Yao said, praising the multilateral block approach to foreign relations, unlike the American insulation agenda, Donald Trump.
Last week, Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. The visit was widely considered an attempt to enhance economic and political relations between China and Europe, amid the consequences of Trump’s tariff.
Shortly before Sanchez’s trip, US Treasury Secretary Scott Payette warned that approaching the Asian state will be “cut off its throat”, comments that Madrid rejected.
Yao said that he was shocked by Bessin’s observations, adding that the United States “actually cuts the throat of everyone” with its definitions unilaterally.
“This is why China is against this type of economic abuse by the United States,” he said.
“Open door”
Yao said that Europe should abandon its export controls on some high -tech products, including semiconductors, as well as prices on Chinese electric cars (VES) and restrictions on Chinese companies such as Huawei or ZTE to reach the 5G network in Europe.
He said that Beijing, in turn, opens sectors such as communications or banks or manufacturing for foreign investments.
Yao said that the trade deficit of the European Union with China, which is about 345 billion dollars last year, could not disappear overnight due to structural issues, but expected gradual progress.
“We make it clear that China will open its doors over time, and this door will never be closed. We are ready to open our market to other European Union members, as we just did with Spain,” he said.
On Friday, the two countries agreed to allow the Chinese market to reach the Spanish stomach, pork-consumer, but it was not approved before.
Some analysts saw that this is a sign that Beijing could reduce their anti -pork investigations, which was launched last year in revenge on the European Union tariff for Chinese electric cars.
Yao said that the investigation is underway, but there was willing to solve differences through negotiations.
