"Prior to the forthcoming summit between the European Union and China, it is important for the Commission and the Council to understand the nature of the relationship between these two players from an international politics perspective.
From a European perspective, the growing influence of China is increasingly being seen more as a threat than an opportunity, and we now see with disappointment how we have failed to implement our original aim of positively influencing the internal development of China and its international behaviour.
From the Chinese perspective, the European Union is seen, above all, as an economic and technological power, and China has no ambition to interfere in the activities of the Union, although it is sensitive to the statements of EU representatives concerning the direction in which it should be heading. The entire tense dynamic of EU-China relations arises from the fact that, apart from mutual pragmatic, strategic and geopolitical interests, the EU is attempting to exert influence on China from the position of a normative power. Hence, the Union not only needs China on account of its security and economic interests, but also needs China to support and implement the ideas of the Union regarding international relations and human rights."@en1
