  1. Tough economic and Diplomatic cooperation improve China-EU relations



European Council on Foreign Relations, 2009 [April, http://www.ecfr.eu/page/-/ECFR12_-_A_POWER_AUDIT_OF_EU-CHINA_RELATIONS.pdf]
For the four “R”s of reciprocal engagement to work, the Ideological Free- Traders must accept that their fundamentalist refusal to use market access as a political tool makes it nearly impossible to counter Chinese policies designed to exploit Europe. The Accommodating Mercantilists should acknowledge that their support for industrial national champions will bear little fruit if the result is to weaken the EU in the face of formidable Japanese and American competition, while their refusal to stand up to China on politics exposes the EU to a future of increasing global irrelevance. The Assertive Industrialists must accept the need for a coherent EU strategy. And the European Followers should understand that it undermines the EU’s China policy as a whole when so many Member States act as if the relationship with China is not important enough for them to bother with it. “Reciprocal engagement” is not code for an aggressive strategy to contain China. The EU has no choice but to engage China as a global partner and to accept its historic rise. Rather, the EU must make it in China’s best interests to deliver what Europeans are asking for. Reciprocal engagement means forming up the EU approach and driving a harder bargain in negotiations with China, with the aim of coming to mutually beneficial deals that result in greater openness on both sides. For the new strategy to be effective, the EU should streamline its channels of communication with China, improve the ways Member States coordinate their China policies and make European institutions work more effectively. It should also increase its expertise on China by funding training for European officials and managers in Chinese language, politics and economics. It should press Beijing to grant EU officials increased access to the Chinese government machinery, and explain that it might reduce access to Chinese officials in Europe if this is not forthcoming. Access to Chinese institutions across the country should be improved by opening sub-delegation of offices in major cities.
  1. Cooperation on single issues spills over



European Parliament, 2015 [“Parliament calls for closer EU-China cooperation on global challenges”, December 16, http://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/news-room/20151210IPR06858/Parliament-calls-for-closer-EU-China-cooperation-on-global-challenges]
The EU and China must work more closely together to tackle global challenges and threats, such as terrorism, illegal migration, security, climate change and global financial and market governance, Parliament says in a resolution passed on Wednesday. It calls for talks to be accelerated on a new partnership and cooperation agreement "based on trust, transparency and respect for human rights." "The great importance of solid relations between the EU and China is evident. This report adopted by 554 votes to 50, with 99 abstentions explains that in detail. To keep a clear view of the rapid developments in our mutual relations I plead for an annual EP-report in response to a similar report by the High Representative," said the rapporteur, Bas Belder (ECR, NL). "For years I have followed the excellent articles and analyses of European correspondents in China with pleasure and profit. They should, which is not now the case, enjoy the same level of media freedom as their Chinese colleagues in Europe," he said. Parliament hails the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the EU and China and says that the 17th EU-China Summit of 29 June 2015 sent out a signal for "closer political cooperation going beyond mere trade relations and towards a coordinated strategic approach to tackling common global challenges and threats". Though concerned at the current financial crisis in China, the EP calls on EU countries to make better use of the opportunities offered by the growth of the Chinese economy in the past 20 years. It points to the importance of the Bilateral Investment Agreement currently under negotiation in paving the way for fair treatment of companies in both Europe and China. It also calls for measures to boost people-to-people exchanges, particularly between experts and students in the EU and in China.
