US and EU resuscitate ‘dialogue on China’

Washington and Brussels are relaunching their forum to discuss a common approach to China, EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell said Wednesday.

In an address to journalists with his American counterpart Antony Blinken, Borrell said: “We agree to launch the European Union-United States dialogue on China as a forum to discuss the full range of related challenges and opportunities.”

The meetings will take place “at the senior, official and expert level on topics such as reciprocity, economic issues, resilience, human rights, security, multilateralism and areas for constructive engagement with China such as climate change,” Borrell continued.

This transatlantic dialogue format was originally set up in October 2020, when the U.S. was still under the administration of President Donald Trump.
