With the rapid development of China’s economy, the EU's one-way investment in China has gradually transformed into the two-way investment between China and the EU, and China's direct investment in the EU has exceeded that of the EU in China with a remarkable margin. Since 2019, the EU has re-positioned China as a partner, an economic competitor, and an institutional rival. The EU turned to engage China with some restrictive measures such as foreign investment review and export control on Chinese investment in EU. However, in recent years, the two-way investment has grown against the wind, showcasing the strong resilience of the bilateral relationship and the mutual needs.
