Borrell: political differences between the EU and China should not interfere with their interaction

Borrell noted that in Brussels and Beijing "they look at democracy and human rights differently" and adhere to different models of governance.

“But these differences should not interfere and do not prevent us from interacting with each other,” Interfax quotes him as saying.

Earlier, The Washington Post, citing IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, noted that the confrontation between the United States and China is splitting the world into opposing blocs, which could lead to a new round of the Cold War.

According to Senator Alexei Pushkov, the United States is deliberately harming the EU economy in order to gain political control over Brussels.

Former Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte expressed confidence that the strategic interests of the EU should not be reduced to the benefit of the United States.
