Global political power, under-exploited assets<\/p>\n

\"China<\/a>

China Industry<\/p><\/div>\n

For both China and Europe, there are only strategic opportunities. A much closer partnership is clearly the route to take.<\/p>\n

For historical reasons, the European nations retain immense power in global politics, which could be very important in defending China against global trade protectionism and dismantling US-driven international controls on transfer of sophisticated technologies.<\/p>\n

The great old companies of Europe such as Siemens, Rolls Royce and Royal Dutch Shell, and the high-tech midsized ones, are natural partners for China\u2019s fast-expanding, capital-rich ones.<\/p>\n

If the euro continues to be fuelled by Chinese support, instead of losing out to the dollar it can become a stronger and more credible rival for dominance in currency markets.<\/p>\n

Europe has an enormous pool of under-exploited assets; China a huge and fast-growing pool of capital to invest. Europe is loaded with debt; China is burdened with excess savings.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina and Europe are strategic partners,\u201d says Li Keqiang, the Chinese vice-premier tipped to take the top job from Wen Jiabao in a few months\u2019 time.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s imports from Europe are growing at 25 per cent a year, and it\u2019s increasingly buying sovereign bonds to underpin the Eurozone.<\/p>\n

Its direct investment in Europe doubled last year. Its first car factory inside the European Union has started production (in Bulgaria), it has bought a road machinery manufacturing plant in Poland and taken control of a chemicals plant in Hungary.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen \u2018designed in Europe\u2019 is combined with \u2018made in China,\u2019 and when European technologies are applied to the Chinese market, there will be amazing results,\u201d Li says.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear that a new major strategic alliance is now developing that will have important economic, political and investment consequences for everyone over the long term.<\/p>\n
