China, EU and US should work together

Since the victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential election, opinion leaders worldwide, especially those in Brussels, have been putting forward proposals on the evolution of global leadership and warning against the consequences of the United States' refusal to fulfill its global commitments.

When Trump tweeted that he would not recognize the Paris climate change agreement, a hard-won deal that brought the world together to tackle a global threat, some observers said it will help bring China and the EuropeanUnion closer in this endeavor. And after Trump entered the White House on Jan 20 and announced the US' withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement and the freezing of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, two flagship free trade deals of his predecessor Barack Obama, some said that the decisions will push the EU toward Asia and this is the right time for China to join the TPP.

Given the internal challenges and external problems faced by the EU and the protectionist policy of Trump, some experts even say China now has the opportunity to lead the world. And since the Trump presidency seems to influence a change in the global order and governance structure, the EU headquarters in Brussels may be rethinking its China policy. Some even say, the EU could even relax its tough regulations against China's growing exports and investment activities.
