The Committee on Foreign Affairs adopted the\nown-initiative report by Bastiaan Belder (ECR, NL) on EU-China\nrelations. It noted that 2015 marks the 40th anniversary of\ndiplomatic relations between the EU and China. The EU-China\nStrategic Partnership is of key importance to relations between the\nEU and China and to finding mutual answers to a range of global\nconcerns.
\nEU-China Strategic Partnership and\nCooperation: the report welcomed the\n40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the EU and China\nas a source of inspiration to strengthen the Strategic Partnership,\nand to speed up the ongoing negotiations for a new Partnership and\nCooperation Agreement based on trust, transparency and respect for\nhuman rights. It stressed the need for EU Member States to speak\nwith one voice to the Chinese Government, particularly in view\nof Beijing's present reshaping of the global governance\narchitecture. In this respect, Members:
\nMembers called on the European External Action Service\nand the Commission to submit an annual report to Parliament\non the development of EU-China relations. The EEAS was asked to\nensure that human rights are high on the agenda in relations and\ndialogues with China.
\nThe report went on to underline the importance of the\nBilateral Investment Agreement (BIT) between the EU and\nChina currently under negotiation. It called, inter alia, for a\nfully-fledged sustainable development chapter to be included\nin the BIT, which provides for binding commitments with respect to\nILO core labour standards and key Multilateral\nEnvironmental Agreements. Whilst welcoming the fact that over\nthe last decades a considerable number of Chinese citizens have\nbeen lifted out of extreme poverty thanks to substantial economic\ngrowth, Members voiced, nonetheless, their concern that these\neconomic improvements often cause environmental problems and great\ninequalities.
\nThey also recalled that the EU Ombudsman in her draft\nrecommendation adopted on 26 March 2015 criticised the absence of a\nhuman rights impact assessment in relation to the Investor-State\nDispute Settlement mechanism in the negotiations for a trade\nand investment agreement with Vietnam. Members noted that this sets\nan important precedent for the negotiations for the EU-China\nBilateral Investment Agreement.
\nInternal situation:\nthe committee observed that Chinas human rights record\nremained a matter of serious concern. It discussed the adoption\nof several pieces of repressive legislation, including the draft\nForeign NGO Management Law, and the new draft law on cybersecurity.\nMembers called on the European Council, the EEAS and the Commission\nto continue to complain forcefully to the Chinese authorities\nagainst these highly controversial measures.
\nThey expressed concern at the recent political and\ncivil unrest in Hong Kong, and called on China to abide by its\nobligations to the people of Hong Kong to preserve their rights and\nfreedoms.
\nExternal situation: the\ncommittee noted that since its launch President Xis\nChinese Dream of national rejuvenation foresees a more\nproactive role for China in the world. It encouraged the VP/HR to\nexplore the possibilities of developing a common approach to\nChina with the US wherever this would contribute to advancing\nEU interests. It noted the priority given by President Xi's\npresidency to the relationship with the US, given his proposal for\na 'new type of major power relationship' between China, the US and\nother regional actors. Members favoured a more constructive\napproach to a new world order which China should help construe\nand integrate, one founded on the universal values of human rights,\ndemocracy and human security. Members called on the EU to be\nmore active in Asia, and to cooperate with China, the US and\nother regional actors for more stability in the region.
\nMembers went on to discuss the expansion of the\nChinese navy, calling for a balanced attitude, to avoid worries\non the part of China's neighbours and more tension in the Pacific\nand Indian Oceans and to guarantee Europe's crucial interest in\nfreedom of navigation on the seas. They called on the VP/HR to\nidentify the risks to peace and security in the region as well as\nglobally should armed conflict arise in the East and South China\nSeas, in line with the priorities set forth in the European\nMaritime Security Strategy, what risks this would entail for the\nfreedom and safety of navigation in the region, and what risks\nexist there to specific European interests.
\nThe Chinese Government was urged to use all its levers\nof influence to ensure stability in the Korean peninsula and\nto induce North Korea to return to credible denuclearisation\ntalks.
\nHuman rights situation:\nMembers noted the recent worsening of the situation of human rights\nin China started in 2013 and has intensified an already existing\ncrackdown over the population. They were concerned that in the\nofficial Chinese view, the universality of human rights is\nquestioned on grounds of cultural differences, and that this\nhas led to lack of understanding and distrust in EU-China\nrelations. They called, therefore, on the Chinese leadership to\nreconsider and to respect the universality of human rights\nand on the EU institutions to work together with the Chinese\nauthorities in their dialogues in order to advance respect for\nuniversality.
\nMembers want on to state their concern that China\nis currently the world's largest executioner and continues to\nimpose the death penalty in secret on thousands of people annually.\nThey were also deeply concerned that the Chinese government is\ncontinuing its hardline policies against the Tibetan people,\nespecially by rejecting the Dalai Lama's Middle Way\nApproach which seeks neither independence nor separation but\na genuine autonomy within the framework of the Chinese\nConstitution. They called for the Chinese government to re-enter\ninto a dialogue with Tibetan representatives.
\nCross-strait relations: Members advocated negotiating a bilateral\ninvestment agreement between the EU and Taiwan, given that\nTaiwan was, at regional level, the best gateway to China for EU\nbusinesses and that numerous states including China \nhave concluded such (de facto) agreements with Taiwan.
\nWhilst commending the acceptance by the Chinese\ngovernment of Taiwan's participation in some UN organisations (WHO,\nICAO), the committee expressed its concern at the Chinese\ngovernment's reaffirmation of the 2005 Anti-Secession Law\nthat allows for the use of military means in the case of a\ndeclaration of independence by Taiwan. It felt that a gradual\ndemilitarisation of the region would further facilitate the\nrapprochement of the parties, emphasising that all cross-strait\ndisputes should be settled by peaceful means on the basis of\ninternational law.
