Introduction
EU-China relations, described in 2003 as a “strategic partnership in the making” and a “honeymoon”, are growing increasingly stormy. As this issue of China Analysis goes to press, Beijing’s postponement of December’s EU-China Summit in Lyon has provided further evidence of the EU’s sliding towards irrelevance in the eyes of China. The overall relationship lacks substance and is strained by political issues such as Tibet. Furthermore, the weakness of the EU seems to be used as a tool by China to address a strong warning to the next American administration on human rights promotion.
