EU foreign ministers meet Friday to seek a common approach on lessening Europe's reliance on China and coaxing Beijing to take a tougher stance on Russia's invasion of Ukraine. | ManilaBulletin
Brussels is urging the European Union's 27 nations to get on the same page on how they deal with China as a more assertive Beijing flexes its influence on the world stage.
"There is a desire to avoid confrontation with China, even if disputes are multiplying," said Elvire Fabry from the Jacques Delors Institute think tank. On a European tour this week, Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang warned Beijing would take the "necessary response" if the EU moved ahead with any sanctions.
That stirred fierce criticism from some other European allies, which see the United States as a security guarantor against Russia. Currently, the EU officially categorises China as simultaneously a partner, competitor and rival, and there is no plan to tear up that approach.
