this week’s meeting in Paris when three of the most powerful EU leaders urged China’s President Xi Jinping to open his country’s protected home market underlined how important China has become as an EU partner — and competitor. The meeting between Mr Xi, French President Emmanuel Macron, German chancellor Angela Merkel and European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker came days after European leaders endorsed at a summit last week a “strategic outlook” on China. The document was a turning point in EU attitudes towards Beijing.
