China–European Union relations

China–European Union relations are the bilateral relations between the European Union (EU) and the People's Republic of China (PRC or China), established in 1975 between China and the European Community, which later became the EU. The EU is China's largest trading partner, and China is the EU's largest trade partner.

Since March 2019, the European Union has referred to China as "a cooperation partner…, a negotiating partner…, an economic competitor…, and a systemic rival". The EU has put an arms embargo and numerous anti-dumping measures against the PRC in place. The EU has become increasingly critical of the PRC for its support of Russia in its invasion of Ukraine.
