China and the European Union are each other's second largest trading partners, with a trade volume of 783 billion US dollars in 2023 and an average trade volume of nearly 1.5 million US dollars per minute. The cumulative operation of China-Europe freight trains has exceeded 90,000. A pattern of mutual integration and deep interpenetration of supply chains and value chains has been formed between the two sides. Each side has in-depth trade ties and broad common interests with another. However, there are also thorns such as the long-term solidification or escalation of the EU's trade deficit with China and the assortments of trade frictions, which have brought about complex changes in the broader bilateral relations.
