A Chinese perspective: In November 2013 BIT negotiations between China and the EU officially commenced. The goal was to reach a high-level agreement covering investment protection and market access.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has caused difficulties, China and the EU have been actively pushing the negotiations forward.
