How positions are measured

One poleThe EU should strengthen its ties with China and its allies, pursuing closer economic and diplomatic cooperation. As the global economic center shifts towards Asia, aligning more with China will ensure the EU remains competitive and gains access to rapidly growing markets.

Other poleThe EU must solidify its alliance with the US and its allies in the Asia-Pacific, reinforcing security partnerships and shared democratic values. Closer cooperation with the US will protect Europe's strategic interests and counterbalance China's growing influence in the region.
