10.9.4 Chinese Perceptions of the EU Will Gradually Shift
Tonegative in the Future
As the EU’s international status and influence declined due to the European debt
crisis and the common people in some of the European countries oppose global-
ization more and more, and furthermore, EU institutions and some of the member
states have adopted some unfriendly measures towards China, Chinese views of the
EU are expected to be continuously negative. This has been revealed in surveys
conducted by Western public opinion survey agencies; however, relevant survey
data still need to be substantiated by the Chinese side for an in-depth analysis of
relevant changes.
