China’s Foreign Ministry stated that Beijing sees its relationship with the European Union (EU) “as a partnership, not as a rivalry”, after the bloc requires the country to end “distorted practices”, including restrictions on rare land imports.
The statement published on Thursday (3) happens after the dialogue between the minister of folder, Wang Yi, and the head of European foreign, Kaja Kallas, who argued that restrictions on rare land exports represent risks to European companies and the reliability of global supply chains.
“Despite some differences, China and EU have no conflicts of fundamental interest and have a wide range of common interests,” said the Chinese ministry. In the text, Wang stressed that any challenges that Europe faced never departed from China. “Beijing is willing to strengthen communication and coordination with the EU and open new perspectives for a comprehensive bilateral partnership,” he adds.
