当前欧盟对华政策的四大特性冯仲平今年１－４月，欧盟在对华政策上相继作出四个重大决定：１月，欧盟外长开会一致同意在第二届亚欧会议期间同中国领导人举行首次首脑会晤；２月，欧盟决定在今年联合国人权会议上，无论作为整体，还是单个成员国都将不再提出也不再支持谴...

Abstract Since the beginning of this year, three characteristics have appeared in the EU's China policy: (1)Strategy. In March this year, the European Committee passed a new policy document entitled 'Building a Comprehensive Partnership with China', indicating to 'elevate its relations with China to the status matched with the US, Japan and Russia'. On April 2, the leaders of both sides held its first summit meeting in London, expressing to make joint commitments to 'set up a long-term, stable and constructive partnership', and considering to hold annual summit meeting with each other. (2)Pragmatism. This is chiefly reflected in: (a)giving top priority in its China's policy to develop economic and trade relations with China; (b) actively launching an 'economic diplomacy'; (c)seeking to create a healthy climate for the trade and economic cooperation with China by desalinating sensitive political issues; (d)making initiatives to strengthen consultation and cooperation with China in international affairs. (3)Identity. In 1995, the EU put forward and passed 'Long-term Policy for China-Europe Relations'. In February this year, the EU decided that either the EU as a whole or each individual member would not raise or approve any resolutions against China in this year's session of the UN Commission on Human Rights. This shows that various nations in the EU tend to reach a consensus on China's human rights.
