Forum Background

The comprehensive strategic partnership between the European Union (EU) and China turns 20 this year. Over the past two decades the EU and China, two of the world’s leading economies, have engaged in mutually beneficial cooperation in a win-win manner and achieved significant success in fields such as politics, economy, culture, and science. As of the end of 2022, EU-China bilateral trade volume reached $847.3 billion, with each side the second-largest trading partner of the other. The stock of two-way investment between China and the EU has exceeded $230 billion, benefiting people on both sides and contributing greatly to world peace and economic prosperity.

Looking ahead, the two sides hold great potential for cooperation and share common interests in promoting economic growth and financial stability, coping with the energy crisis, curbing inflation, and pursuing green and digital transitions. As such, they have decided to set up a financial working group under the China-EU High-Level Economic and Trade Dialogue (HED) mechanism to strengthen cooperation in financial areas such as financial liberalisation, infrastructure, and regulation, as well as sustainable finance and fintech. However, some tension does exist within the relationship – EU authorities have recently opened an anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric car imports, for example.

The European Green Deal sets out a clear path towards realising the European Union (EU's) ambitious target of a 55 per cent reduction in carbon emissions compared to 1990 levels by 2030, and to become a climate-neutral continent by 2050. As part of the EU Green Deal, a proposal for a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has been introduced to prevent the risk of carbon leakage. China exports more manufactured goods and services to the EU than any other country; therefore the CBAM proposal and the amendments adopted by the European Parliament on 22nd June 2022 have raised concern among Chinese stakeholders.
