리젠 중국 외교부 유럽사 사장은 화요일 연설을 통해 유럽이 중국을 향해 폐쇄적인 태도를 취하고 있다고 비판했다.
리젠 사장은 고위급 포럼에서 중국의 고사성어를 인용하며 유럽의 시각을 설명했다. 그는 유럽 내 일부 목소리가 중국과 유럽의 관계를 장기적인 협력에서 경쟁이나 대립 구도로 바꾸려 한다고 지적했다. 이 외교관은 보호무역주의에 대해 경고하며 베이징 당국은 브뤼셀의 우려를 해결할 준비가 되어 있다고 밝혔다. 그의 발언은 현재 유럽 당국이 취하고 있는 접근 방식의 위험성을 강조한 것이다. 이번 발언은 중국과 유럽연합(EU) 간의 무역 및 국제 관계에 대한 논의가 진행되는 가운데 나왔다.
