![]() ![]() The two sides also had an exchange of views on the Ukraine issue. The two sides should, in particular, be vigilant against the politicization and instrumentalization of economic issues and the use of "de-risking" as another synonym for "decoupling and severing industrial and supply chains". China and the EU should jointly advance the process of globalization and safeguard the free trade system with the principle of openness and inclusiveness, while jointly opposing protectionism and rejecting unilateral bullying. China is ready to work with the EU to leverage complementary advantages, form synergy, create the effect of "one plus one being greater than two", and dovetail each other's global initiatives, including the Belt and Road Initiative and the Global Gateway strategy. China supports the EU in sticking to strategic autonomy and making independent judgments. Wang Yi emphasized that China is committed to building a new system featuring an open economy at a higher level, and will continue to share its super-large-scale market opportunities with the world. "De-risking" is absolutely not targeted at China, and the EU has no intention of hindering China's development. The EU does not support the confrontation of camps and parallel systems. The global industrial and supply chains are intertwined, so it is unrealistic and impossible for the EU and China to "decouple". The EU is ready to explore ways to strengthen policy synergy between both sides and promote practical cooperation to achieve more results. China plays a key role in global affairs and the global initiatives it proposed are widely welcome. The EU is ready to maintain a strong engagement with China and grow constructive, stable and long-term relations. The EU has never supported "Taiwan independence". The EU is firmly committed to the one-China policy, the core connotation of which is that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is not a country. Josep Borrell Fontelles said that China is first and foremost an important partner of the EU, and this positioning is very clear and certain. The EU should not waver, let alone encourage backpedaling words and deeds. The EU should further clarify its positioning of the strategic partnership between the two sides and promote China-EU relations to move forward on an existing basis. Strengthening communication, enhancing trust and deepening cooperation between China and the EU serves the common interests of the two sides. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership, and is of great significance of building on past achievements and working for fresh progress. Wang Yi said that there is no fundamental conflict of interest between China and the European Union (EU) as both sides advocate multilateralism, support a multi-polar world and greater democracy in international relations as well as the international system with the United Nations at its core. On Jlocal time, Director of the Office of the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs Wang Yi met in Jakarta with High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell Fontelles at the latter's request.
