Europe Reengages China To Boost Cooperation

Since late 2025, European leaders and businesses have stepped up engagement with China, marked by visits from British Prime Minister Keir Starmer (Jan. 31, 2026), French President Emmanuel Macron (Dec. 2025) and others. Officials and firms, including AstraZeneca which pledged $15 billion through 2030, cite cooperation in trade, green technology and R&D as primary drivers. The renewed ties aim to stabilize relations and expand economic collaboration.
