China urges the EU to adjust its mindset on trade relations, stressing that the EU's mentality needs rebalancing rather than the economic ties themselves.
BEIJING (Reuters) -China's foreign ministry said on Wednesday that the European Union should rebalance its mindset towards the bloc's trade ties with China.
"We hope the EU realise that what needs rebalancing at the moment is the EU's mentality, not China-EU economic and trade relations," Mao Ning, a ministry spokesperson, told a regular press briefing.
Mao was responding to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's remark that rebalancing the EU's economic relations with China should be a priority.
