The European Union is in a state of disaccord with respect to their dealings with China.

At present, European Union leaders may be divided on the issue of continuing relations with China. That’s what Politico reports.

According to the publication, the United States is taking a tough stance on China and putting pressure on European leaders. The head of the European Council, Charles Michel, and a number of other senior officials are less rigid. Germany, Hungary and Greece are focused on maintaining relations with China. They do not want to sever economic ties with Beijing.

Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, is a hardliner and follows the American course towards China. The European Commission is the executive body of the EU and determines its foreign policy.
