EU accuses China of seeking to reshape global order in stark new strategy paper

The European Union's 27 foreign ministers have adopted a new position paper that strongly criticizes China and Russia. The paper accuses both countries of seeking to "reshape the global order in line with their interests" and promoting a "sphere-of-influence logic." It labels Russia and China as the primary "revisionist powers" challenging European security and the international rules-based order. Furthermore, the EU document identifies Beijing as a "key enabler" and "crucial enabler" of Russia's war in Ukraine. This marks some of the strongest official criticism the bloc has ever leveled against Beijing.
