Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyze the development of the relations between the European Union and China in the context of the profound transformative processes in the international system. Despite the indisputable mutual interest in expanding cooperation, the Sino-European relations face a number of problems and challenges. Some of them stem from value differences, some are related to processes within both the EU and China; other are related to the dynamic processes within the system of international relations. The success of the OBOR initiative is impossible without a certain level of cooperation between China and the EU economy. The idea of connecting Asia Pacific’s markets with the European ones has the potential to influence the dynamics of EU – China trade relations as well as the regional and global geopolitical and geo-economic environment. It is thus important to study the extent to which the European Union will demonstrate continuity in its policy towards China after the 2019 European Parliament elections.
