"First, I would like to thank Ana Gomes for this report. For me its primary message relates not only to China’s conduct, but also to the constant shortcomings in European Union Common Foreign Policy. We clearly all agree that a common European Union position here would be very welcome.
I would like to focus on a couple of points. First the global approach: we should view cooperation between China and Africa from a global perspective, not from the viewpoint that Africa is traditionally an area of exclusively European influence. Secondly, we must stress responsibility: China must recognise the growing responsibility which ensues from a strategic partnership of this kind.
And one final remark: point 13 of the AFET suggestions
First, I do not believe that our policy should be aligned with that of the People’s Republic of China, and I am even less convinced that the Chinese will even begin to take our narrative-style recommendations into consideration."@en1
