European Council President Charles Michel visited China on December 1. Chinese President Xi Jinping met with him in the morning and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang met with him in the afternoon.

According to the official press release of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Michel said during the meeting with Xi Jinping, "The European side is willing to work with the Chinese side to successfully hold high-level exchanges in the next stage. By strengthening direct dialogue and cooperation, reducing misunderstanding and misjudgment, strengthening communication and cooperation, we can better jointly deal with energy. crisis, climate change, public health and other global challenges.” During the meeting with Li Keqiang, Michelle also said that “the EU adheres to the one-China policy and looks forward to hosting a new round of EU-China leaders’ meeting with China to strengthen mutual communication and enhance mutual understanding."

Although Michelle's visit is the first formal meeting between the leaders of China and Europe after the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the "high-level exchanges in the next stage" and "the new round of EU-China leaders' meeting" all hint at the significance of Michelle's visit. The purpose is only for communication and foreshadowing. Whether China and the EU can reach a major consensus will be finalized in future high-level exchanges.

On the afternoon of December 1, 2022, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang met with European Council President Michel at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

According to the usual practice, the EU leaders usually visit China together with the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission, but this time Michel visited China alone without the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. It also confirms from one aspect that its visit will not produce major results.

Xi Jinping had a bilateral meeting with US President Joe Biden at the G20 summit.

At a time when the G2 trend between China and the United States is becoming more and more obvious, the EU's attitude towards China is not a simple EU decision.

After the communication between China and the United States, the EU will inevitably have preliminary contacts with both China and the United States, and then decide its attitude towards China.

After German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited China on November 4, he talked with Biden on the phone on November 6 to discuss the itinerary of his visit to China.

French President Emmanuel Macron just visited the United States, and the next step will be to visit China early next year.

The US and Europe will also further negotiate and communicate on the US "Inflation Reduction Act".

What kind of consensus has been reached between China and the United States, what differences are still there, and how the differences between the EU and the United States will be resolved, all of which will affect the outcome of the next meeting between the leaders of China and the EU.
