Key points

  • The European Parliament recognizes China as a strategic rival that poses challenges to European security and economic stability.
  • The EU should pursue a strategy of 'de-risking' by focusing on critical sectors such as semiconductors, industrial magnets, and raw materials.
  • China's role in supporting Russia's war against Ukraine must be condemned, and its influence should be used to urge an end to the conflict.
  • Human rights violations, including those against ethnic and religious minorities, must remain a central priority in all EU-China relations.
