The View
China must be seen to be a trustworthy partner to ensure success of its investment deal with the EU
- China should abandon attempts to ‘divide and rule’ Europe, rein in boastful diplomats and seek collaboration by taking minority, rather than controlling, stakes
- Though dismissed by some as underwhelming, the investment agreement will open a door for a more collaborative, mutually beneficial relationship
