Key points

The EU should adopt a multi-faceted approach to China: cooperating on global issues, competing in markets, and confronting violations of international law.
The European Parliament demands accountability for human rights abuses, specifically regarding the treatment of minorities in Xinjiang and Tibet, and the erosion of democracy in Hong Kong.
The EU must pursue 'de-risking' to secure supply chains for critical technologies and raw materials without completely cutting off trade.
The EU must support the status quo in the Taiwan Strait and oppose any unilateral attempts to change it by force.
