Former EU envoy predicts stronger Sino-European relations

Perspective

A former European Union ambassador to China said he believes Beijing is serious about improving relations with Brussels and that Sino-EU ties will improve with President Xi Jinping's visit to Europe this month.

Klaus Ebermann said the next decade will see both more competition and cooperation between China and the EU, which is quite normal and reasonable. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating. We have just got to do it," Ebermann said in an interview with China Daily during the two sessions in Beijing.
