中欧经贸关系

Abstract:This chapter introduces the development of the China-EU trade and investment relations in the past ten years since the announcement of the China-EU Comprehensive Strategic Partnership，analyzes the driving forces for China’s trade surplus with the EU，the situation of the bilateral trade disputes，as well as the issue of the “Market Economy Status” （MES） in the bilateral trade relations. The author concludes that great changes have taken place regarding the economic strength and international positions of the two sides，as well as the international environment in the ten years ever since the establishment of China-EU Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The author also noted that despite the high growth rate of the trade volume between China and the EU，neither side has had made adequate preparations for the sharp rising of the bilateral trade and no efficient mechanism has been set up to react to such situations. In the future ten years，China should try to get rid of its passive status in the bilateral trade agenda，transform the former development approach to the bilateral trade which focused on forms instead of substance，and constructs a new way of thinking on China-EU economic and trade relations.
