The E.U. is cautiously looking to Beijing as one way to achieve what it now calls a need to “diversify” its economic partners in the face of U.S. aggression.

Europe has long looked warily on China ’s economic power out of a homegrown sense of distrust.

China has largely refrained from imposing significant tariffs on European goods.

China is self-sufficient and doesn’t need to bend to Europe to weather trade storm.

Europe is now facing a technology and competitiveness gap with Chinese companies.

China ’s domestic market remains difficult to penetrate, and its own slowing growth is hurting once-booming sales of European luxury goods.
