Abstract
Since its economic liberalization in 1978 and with the increasing globalization, trade relations between China and the European Union have been increasingly open. Bilateral trade has increased since 1978 by 40 times being the European Union the most important partner for China, while China is the second largest trading partner of the European Union, just overtaken by the United States. In 2010 the European Union exported to China goods worth 113,000 million euros, a 38% more than the previous year, while the EU has imported goods worth 282,000 million euros, a 31% more than in 2009. Both, Chinese and Europeans leaders are making great efforts to keep and improve their economic relations.
