Today, we take decisive action to tackle it in the EU and worldwide, delivering on the commitment made by President @vonderleyen in the last #SOTEU.

In the last decades China has become an economic powerhouse and a key global player.
It is now reducing its dependency on the world while increasing the world’s dependency on itself.
We need to develop a new approach.
