THE 10th China-EU High-Level Strategic Dialogue chaired by China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi and European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Tuesday has sent many positive signals to the world despite being held through videoconferencing due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The sheer fact that China and the EU are continuing their dialogue at a time when the United States has largely rejected such constructive engagements is proof of a healthy China-EU relationship. Many encouraging messages emerged from the more than three-hour-long meeting.
