With European integration, in particular, the launch of the Euro, the European Union has fundamentally changed the world economic pattern and successfully brought new co-operation opportunities to EU-China economic relations. The two-way trade has increased more than forty-fold since 1978 when China began to carry out its cconomic reform policy, and reached US $125 billion last year. It's expected that the European Union will increase its trade volume with China

by 20% this year.

China is now the EU's second largest non-European trading partner, after the United States, and the EU was China's third largest trade partner last year. At the same time, the EU is the biggest supplier for China in terms of technology and equipment. It’s not surprising that although the EU and China have differences in social systems, development skills, cultural traditions and values and divergent views on some issues, all these elements will not impair the EU-China relationship.

【參考答案】

隨著歐洲一體化，特別是歐元的發(fā)行，歐盟從根本上改變了世界經(jīng)濟(jì)格局,也成功地給歐中經(jīng)濟(jì)關(guān)系帶來(lái)了新的合作機(jī)遇。自1978年中國(guó)開(kāi)始實(shí)仟經(jīng)濟(jì)改革政策以來(lái),中國(guó)同歐盟國(guó)家的貿(mào)易往來(lái)增加了40多倍,去年已達(dá)到1250億關(guān)元。歐盟與中國(guó)的貿(mào)易額今年有望增加20%。

如今，中國(guó)是歐盟在歐洲之外的第二大貿(mào)易伙伴，僅次于美國(guó)。歐盟是中國(guó)去年的第三大貿(mào)易伙伴。同時(shí)，歐盟是中國(guó)技術(shù)和設(shè)備的最大供應(yīng)商。不難理解，歐盟與中國(guó)雖然在社會(huì)制度、發(fā)展技術(shù)、文化傳銃、價(jià)值觀以及對(duì)一些問(wèn)題的看法上存在差異，但是所有這些都不會(huì)成為制約歐中關(guān)系的因素。
