To put it simply, there have been exchanges between China and Europe since ancient times, from the Great Qin at that time, as well as Persia. Mainly use silk as well as porcelain for some spices and ***,

More than 30 years have passed since China and the European Economic Community formally established relations on May 6, 1975. In the past 30 years or so, China-EU relations have continued to move forward on the whole, and have gone through four stages: from the establishment of diplomatic relations to the end of the 80s of the last century, a period of steady development;The regressive period caused by the "sanctions" imposed by the European Community against China after 1989;In 1994, a recovery period was announced for the lifting of all "sanctions" except for the arms sales ban;After 1998, it was marked by the adoption of the policy document "Comprehensive Partnership with China" and the establishment of the mechanism for leaders' meetings.

The development of China-EU relations to this day is made up of a series of treaties and concrete actions:

In 1978, China signed the first agreement with the European Community to grant reciprocal most-favored-nation status and set up a mixed EU-China economic commission.

In 1985, the European Community and China signed the Agreement on Economic Cooperation in Brussels

In 1988, the Council of Europe set up a delegation in Beijing.

In 1989, the EC froze relations with China and imposed a series of sanctions.

In 1992, China-EU relations basically returned to normal, and the embargo was still in effect.

In 1995, the European Commission published a strategic document entitled "Long-term Policy on China-EU Relations".

In 1998, the EU adopted the policy document "Comprehensive Partnership with China", which decided to elevate relations with China to a level of equal importance with those between Europe and the United States, Europe and Russia, and Europe and Japan.

In 2001, the EU China Strategy put forward more than 70 concrete measures to strengthen cooperation with China.

In 2003, the European Union (EU) issued "Towards a Mature Partnership: Common Interests and Challenges in EU-China Relations", which decided to develop a strategic partnership with China.

In October 2003, China issued the "China Policy Paper on the EU" to promote the further development of bilateral relations.

The China-EU comprehensive strategic relationship and dialogue mechanism are still in the process of being enriched and improved.

After half a century of ups and downs, the EU has expanded several times, from the original 6 member states to today's 25 countries in the reform and opening up, which has injected new vitality into the development of China-EU relations, and the EU has paid more attention to the development of relations with China.
