"Madam President, China is undergoing huge growth and is full of contradictions. It is a country that is becoming increasingly powerful in a global context.
It is true that we need our own European strategy to define the action that we should take. We must make our interests clear and explain that we want multi-polar global relationships. We are interested in finding a solution to the problems of climate policy. We want to see overall sustainability, but we do not want a colonial style debate. Instead, we would like a relationship with the Chinese on equal terms. However, I would like to make it equally clear that human rights are universal. China is still failing to comply with human rights standards and there is no press freedom there. For this reason, we must continue to express our criticism of the Chinese Government. I am of the opinion that we should not lift the arms embargo. We must condemn the Laogai or forced labour camps. We must call for an end to the ban on trade unions and for cultural autonomy for the many minorities, in particular, the Tibetans and the Uighurs."@en1
