Abstract

Based on the "mystery of security", increasing the power of each actor poses a threat to the security of another actor and puts it in the management of this threat. Management of this threat is not possible except in the light of increasing power and "balancing"; Despite the rapid development of China's economy and the promotion of its position in international politics, on the one hand And the more complete the EU integration process and the increase in its strength on the other, the two do not consider each other as a "threat". Although China has been one of the left-wing ideological countries, it has nevertheless succeeded in bringing itself up with the international system and as a major economic-political power in the global arena. Along with China, the European Union, as the most powerful institution based on unity between governments in the last half century, has been able to influence both the poles of power governing international politics and the perceptions of global policy researchers. The present study seeks to answer the question of how and under what influence the EU-China relations between 2001 and 2016? The hypothesis is that relations between the European Union and China are primarily affected by the economic-commercial factors, including trade (the volume of exports and imports as well as the total amount of goods traded) and the amount of direct foreign investment and, on the other hand, influenced by factors Political issues include arms embargoes, the Taiwan issue and human rights
