EU, China heading in the right direction

EU, China heading in the right direction

Upcoming talks on investment agreement will promote bilateral trade relations

Although strategic partnerships will be the main focus of the China-EU summit that begins on Nov 21 in Beijing, expectations are rife that the two sides will eventually sign an investment agreement that aims among other things to reduce simmering trade tensions.

According to experts, this China-EU summit is of "special importance" because it will set the tone for future bilateral engagements. Free trade negotiations between China and the EU had not made much progress in the past, because Brussels has yet to grant market economy status to Beijing.

From a European perspective, the current summit is also a rare opportunity to study and observe the new Chinese leadership, especially after the just-concluded Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee.

"I hope this summit is more of a consolidation effort and less of conflict," says Glyn Ford, a five-times former member of the European Parliament. "The European side will be getting to know the new Chinese leadership at close quarters and there will be incremental, rather than radical, moves in political and economic relations."

The two sides are expected to discuss trade and investment, human rights, innovation, urbanization, rule of law, people-to-people exchanges and defense and security at the meeting. Discussions will also center on respective domestic situations and other major global issues such as G20 cooperation.

Jonathan Holslag, a researcher at the Brussels Institute of Contemporary China Studies, says that although the upcoming summit, the highest political dialogue platform since 1998, is of importance, nothing new seems to be on the horizon.

"The main objective is to get acquainted with the new leadership in China and to probe its priorities toward Europe," Holslag says.

Holslag says it is clear that China considers good relations with Europe a top priority. "Trade relations have normalized somewhat, but it remains to be seen whether the investment treaty will signal a new era in economic partnership," he says.

Bernard Dewit, president of the Brussels-based Belgian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, says the summit illustrates the need for dialogue between the two sides, especially as the economies are becoming more interdependent.

Beyond the investment agreement negotiations, Dewit hopes that both sides will agree on the feasibility studies for a free trade agreement. The FTA is expected to help Chinese and European companies to invest in and access each other's markets.

"The new Chinese leadership is clearly willing to reinforce the EU-China strategic leadership and has recognized the importance of the EU in the global economy," Dewit says. "On the other hand, the EU is also serious about deepening its political and economic ties with China."

Christopher Dent, professor of East Asia's International Political Economy at the University of Leeds in the UK, says that future Sino-EU ties will hinge on closely inter-related issues such as energy, resources and climate change.

"Both sides face stiff challenges on these fronts, challenges that will only become more critically important over time," Dent says.

"China and Europe are championing the global efforts on green energy and other sustainable technologies. There is immense scope for cooperation between the two sides," Dent from the University of Leeds says.

The China-EU summit this year is one of several political gatherings between Beijing and major global powers since the new Chinese leadership took power. Since its inception in 1998, most of the annual China-EU summits have taken place in the second half of the year.

However, trade tensions over solar panels since last September have clouded bilateral relations between the two sides.

"Brussels has a love-hate mindset toward Beijing," says former parliamentarian Ford. "The ups and downs of China-EU relations during the past decade have occurred because of the EU's love-hate mindset toward China."

Experts say that although there was a honeymoon period after bilateral ties began in 2003, there is still reluctance in Brussels to end the arms embargo on China. Other major irritants included Brussels' defensive measures against Chinese textile exports in 2005 and the latest anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations against China's solar panels.

Holslag from the Brussels Institute, however, feels that both China and Europe are responsible for letting the partnership become one of process rather than progress.

"The good thing is that both sides have recognized that it is not the quantity of dialogue, but the strength of the partnership that matters in global affairs," Holslag says.

"I am not certain whether this will lead to overall improvement, but I can only hope that we start by building a relationship that is strategic and more balanced."

Strong ties

Ford says that it is important for China to forge strong ties with the EU, because it would help offset the growing influence of Washington.

To support his statement he cites British Prime Minister David Cameron who, on the one hand calls for more investment from China, and then urges action against Beijing for industrial subsidies.

Dewit from the Belgian-Chinese chamber anticipates that both sides will have a better understanding of the future social challenges as the economic interdependency deepens.

Pressing his point, he says that China's rapid economic development has led to widespread changes in Western economies.

"There has been a sort of revolution in sectors such as the textile industry. European companies that were unable to withstand the external competition had to shut up shop. The solar panels issue is a good case in point," Dewit says.

"The social tensions caused by the competition have also put more political pressure on European policymakers to retaliate."

Dewit says that Chinese companies also had to face stiff competition from European companies within China, when China joined the World Trade Organization. "There was political pressure on Chinese decision makers too at that time to retaliate," he says.

In spite of these hassles, both investment and trade had grown manifold during the past decade. Even during the recession years from 2009 to 2012, the number of Chinese companies that had invested in Europe more than doubled to 8,000. More than 50 percent of these companies ended up with heavy losses.

At the same time, statistics have also shown that more than 80 percent of the European companies investing in China have seen their profits grow steadily. That also explains the robust growth in European companies investing in China.

Andreas Frahm, the chief sales officer of German medical equipment maker Draeger, admits that China has indeed been a sweet spot for the multinational company during the past decade. "China is already the largest market for Draeger in some product and application fields," Frahm says.

According to Frahm, although there are several attributes for success, it is high retention rate of local talent, their deep commitment and the close linkages within China that have really made the difference.

Frahm admits that during the last few years, demand for the German company's products has surged in China. "There is a continuous and growing demand for affordable products and solutions in the medium and upper basic segment markets of China. We anticipate these sectors to clock even higher growth rates going forward."

Frahm also believes that growing economic interaction between the EU and China are important because it provides a legal framework to the investment activities and a solid platform for future projects.

Dewit says both economies have benefited from the growth in bilateral trade relations during the past few years. "Chinese and EU authorities should take more steps to promote these interactions. Culture is another aspect that will play an important role in the future because both sides need to understand each other better," he says.

Dewit admits that Europe needs to brush up on its knowledge of Chinese language and culture, while European institutions must do more to promote European culture in China.

"Both sides have to do their best to avoid misunderstandings based on ignorance or false perceptions," he says.

Rolf J. Langhammer, former vice-president of the Germany-based Kiel Institute for the World Economy, says the summit is an important milestone for settling bilateral trade policy tensions, such as anti-dumping issues, and for coordinating positions at the upcoming Bali round of global trade negotiations.

According to Langhammer, China still believes that the EU has a long way to go until a full economic recovery. "They (the Chinese) believe that the EU is still an important export destination and a host market for overseas investment."
