Ambassador urges lifting trade barriers and reinvigorating bilateral exchanges
China and Europe "do not pose a geopolitical, strategic threat to each other", and they should work hard to eliminate divergences and prejudice, said Chinese Ambassador to France Lu Shaye, a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
"Chinese warships do not sail to Europe to 'flex their muscle'. Individual European countries have followed the US 'Indo-Pacific strategy' and sent warships to China's doorstep, making China their target," he noted.
In an exclusive interview with China Daily, Lu said "the key variable in China-US-Europe ties is the United States".
