Lin Jian This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and the EU. Over the past 50 years, the interaction and dialogue between China and the EU have become increasingly close, with continuously deepened convergence of interest, significant enhancement in the scale and level of cooperation, and effective multilateral coordination. The two sides have established over 70 dialogue mechanisms, engaged in in-depth communication on bilateral cooperation and the two sides’ concerns, and achieved many common understandings, which promoted the sound development of China-EU relations. The annual trade has surged from US$2.4 billion to US$785.8 billion, an over 300-fold increase. The two-way investment stock has grown from nearly zero to US$260 billion. China’s unilateral visa-free policy has benefited 24 EU member states.
