Lu Shaye, the Chinese ambassador to France told an exclusive interview with the European Times in Paris, expressing his views on the relationship between China, Europe, China and France in 2022, China’s fight against the epidemic, cross-strait relations, and many important issues related to overseas Chinese.
China-EU relations are related to the stability of the global structure and the prosperity of the Eurasian continent, and deserve careful maintenance and development by both sides. The ambassador affirmed that in 2023 China will continue to regard the EU as a comprehensive strategic partner, support the EU’s strategic autonomy, hope that Europe will be stable and prosperous, and insist that China-EU relations are not targeted, dependent, or controlled by a third party.
