European Parliament to Freeze China Investment Deal
BEIJING (CGTN Global Watch) – In a sign of worsening relations between China and the European Union, the European Parliament halted the ratification of a new investment deal with China until Beijing lifted sanctions on EU Politicians.
A major investment agreement between China and the European Union has been dealt another blow. On Thursday, the European Parliament passed a motion to freeze the ratification process, and urged China to lift sanctions on EU lawmakers, which were imposed earlier this year.
Beijing says the investment agreement is a balanced deal, not a “gift”.
