Introduction

The European Union and the People´s Popular of China make up the fourth part of the world population. 

China has an increasing political weight all over the world, which could be increase after a bigger cooperation with the European Union. However, there are some problems and restrictions; like their communist regime, the not respect of human rights and the weapons seizure.

In addition, China is the fourth world economic power and the third bigger exporter, consequently it pushed, combined with the European economic crisis, to boost the recognition of it like a market economy before the World Trade Organization (which will suppose a reduction of duties and antidumping measures).

Regard the relations between EU and China; we are going to focus our analysis in the economic, political and international security ones.
