Economic and Trade Relations - The cooperation between China and Europe has historically been mutually beneficial, contributing to economic growth in Europe since China's accession to the WTO in 2001 [2][4]. - The EU has maintained a leading position in high-end manufacturing and technology, with significant profits from exports to China, such as luxury goods and automobiles [2][4].
