"I fully support this resolution which calls for enhanced co-operation between the EU and China. I believe that the EU has a vital role to play in helping to shape China's economic, social and political agenda. China's accession to the WTO is to be welcomed, but the EU must not become complacent: human rights and the UN conventions that China has ratified are still far from fully respected. I feel that the report shows the right balance between encouragement of China's economic and social reforms, as well as denouncing its perennial abuses of human rights and the rule of law. EU-China relations continue to be hampered by issues such as the oppression of FalunĀ Gong practitioners and the imprisonment monks in Tibet. Therefore it is equally important that the EU shows itself to be tough on these issues and willing to engage with China."@en1
