EU Intends to Cooperate With US to Stop Authoritarianism and to See China as an Economic and Institutional Competitor
The leaders of 27 EU countries will hold a summit on the 10th-11th this month to discuss strengthening the cooperation between the EU and the US. They believed that the EU and the US should stop authoritarianism and should cooperate to meet the challenges of China’s growing international influence.
The European Commission proposed “EU-US New Agenda for Global Change” on Wednesday, believing that the EU and the US have common interests in supporting democracy, upholding international law, and promoting human rights. Also, a strong EU-US partnership is very significant for supporting democratic values, as well as global and regional stability, prosperity, and conflict resolution.
The EU suggested that the EU and the US should re-establish closer transatlantic partnerships in different geopolitical fields, to strengthen the cooperation from preventing authoritarianism and human rights violation. EU mentioned that China is a negotiating partner for cooperation, but also an economic and institutional competitor. The EU and the US both agreed that the international influence expansion of China is a strategic challenge.
