Summary
The EU’s diplomatic service used some of its strongest language yet on Beijing, saying China is trying to reshape the global order around its own interests.
The strategy paper says that push would restore a sphere-of-influence logic, framing it as part of a broader challenge to the international rules-based order.
Russia and China are identified as the two main revisionist powers in the document, which links their ambitions to threats to European security.
The paper is meant to guide the bloc’s first full security strategy, which the EU expects to publish later this year.
