More common interests
This year not only marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership, it also marks the 10th anniversary of the publication of China's first European Union policy paper, which spelled out the objectives for China's EU policy and outlined plans and measures for bilateral cooperation. So Premier Li Keqiang's visit to Europe as part of his first overseas trip since taking office is of great significance.

Sino-French relations on the rise
France can boast to having at least three "firsts" in Sino-Western relations: it was the first major Western country to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China in 1964; Francois Hollande was the first major Western leader to be received by the new Chinese administration in Beijing; and the first foreign ambassador President Hollande met after his election in May 2012 was from China.

Building a bridge between China and Europe
The fourth China-Europe High-Level Political Parties Forum, held in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, from April 22 to 23, could not have taken place at a better time. The process of China's leadership transition concluded in March, so it is logical now that European parties should discover what policy adjustments the new leaders will make and the resulting implications for future Sino-European relations.

Getting real about EU-China relations
On a recent three-month trip to Brussels conducting academic research, I began ruminating on the nature of Chinese-EU relations. I had considered titling this piece "From Brussels with Love"; however in light of the James Bond called "From Russia with Love", I feared the opprobrium of those who might accuse me of breaching intellectual property rights (IPR).

A Chinese view: What does the change in Chinese leadership mean for the future of the China-EU relationship?

Predicting the post-Chavez era
For many supporters of Hugo Chavez’s domestic and foreign policies, his death comes as a great loss. However, the news was well-received by the United States and those in opposing political camps. In April 2002, Chavez was removed from power for 48 hours in a failed coup attempt backed by the United States, and there are rumors that the CIA had tried to assassinate him.

Chinese companies have a big role to play in creating jobs

Towards a better future for China’s relations with Latin America
China’s foreign policy, in the words of many Chinese scholars, is composed of three aspects: developed countries are the key; neighboring countries are the priority; and developing countries are the foundation.

Fiscal reduction and parliamentary election in Greece
After Greece fell into the debt crisis, the troika, i.e., the IMF, the European Union and the European Central Bank, agreed to bail it out on the condition that the Southern European nation should adopt austerity measures.

A critical point for Europe
Greece, the first European country to fall into debt trouble, is faced with a painful decision on whether to stay in the euro zone. At present, the country is suffering the heavy blow of a triple crisis—sovereign debt, social problems and political uncertainty.

China-EU trade: Ten years of progress
China's trade relations with the EU, the world's largest economic bloc, have blossomed in the ten years since China's entry to the WTO in 2001. Every day, US$1.5 billion worth of goods travels between China and the EU. When China established diplomatic ties with the European Community in 1975, total bilateral trade was merely US$2.5 billion.
