In 2005, the EU celebrates 30 years of diplomatic ties with the People’s Republic of China. This video news report focuses on that relationship and examines the influence the EU has had within China across a range of issues including environment, trade, and support to grassroots democracy at village level in China. On wider cultural and human rights issues, the EU’s steady diplomatic relationship with China has been pivotal internationally, and the report explains how and why the EU is uniquely positioned to maintain this continuing dialogue with the People’s Republic. The report visits: Liaoning province in the North East, the industrial heart of China; a village outside Harbin, Northern China where the Village Chairman and his committee are now directly elected by the people; the China-Europe International Business School in Shanghai. The report also features exclusive interviews with the Chinese Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs Mr. Zhang Yesui and President of the EU Commission, Mr. José Manuel Barroso.

This is Shenyang, China's 5th largest city and capital of Liaoning province, the industrial 00:00:00
engine of an economy growing at a rate of more than 9% per annum. 00:00:09
Where the bicycle once ruled, cars now dominate, and heavy pollution is the price China has 00:00:15
had to pay for such rapid growth. 00:00:19
Six years ago the Liao River was the most polluted in China, and Shenyang was known 00:00:24
as Black Snow City, but thanks to an EU environmental programme that sees European and Chinese experts 00:00:28
working side by side, things are improving rapidly. 00:00:34
Our air quality is at a second level now. 00:00:39
In Shenyang before there were only 200 days at this level, but now we've achieved 300 00:00:41
days. 00:00:47
Through a comprehensive five-year plan, sources of pollution have been identified and targeted. 00:00:48
Environmental polluters were obviously the primary focus, but educating the province's 00:00:54
large rural population about the impact of fertilisers has also played an important role. 00:00:57
In villages like Yingpan, farmers have been educated about the alternative methods they 00:01:03
can use to reduce chemical fertilisers, and to protect the water in nearby Dehaofang Reservoir. 00:01:07
Hong Lianzheng has a large farm just outside the village, producing corn and beans. 00:01:13
I'm the farmer here, and I have land here. 00:01:22
According to the government's education and through work and experience, we've learned 00:01:24
that to use chemicals is not green production. 00:01:28
We want to maintain the results of this project and continue to use it. 00:01:38
Now that we know how it works, we'll try to apply many EU projects into our environmental 00:01:42
protection. 00:01:46
The Liaoning Integrated Environmental Programme was the largest EU-supported project in the 00:01:51
People's Republic to date, valued at 48.5 million euro. 00:01:56
Run by both EU and Chinese experts, it forms just one part of the wider partnership and 00:02:01
the diplomatic ties that exist between the EU and China. 00:02:06
In 2005, that partnership celebrates 30 years, 30 years of considerable change. 00:02:10
There are such non-traditional threats such as terrorism, proliferation of weapons of 00:02:19
mass destruction, cross-border crimes, and the emergence of new epidemics and diseases. 00:02:24
Against such a backdrop of globalisation, it is very important to have international 00:02:30
cooperation to deal with these common threats. 00:02:34
Both Europe and China have gone through dynamic changes over the last 30 years. 00:02:40
The European Union now encompasses 25 member states, while China has rapidly emerged as 00:02:46
a player of real importance on the global scene. 00:02:55
It is very clear to me that developing a mutually beneficial European-Union-China relationship 00:02:59
is one of the key challenges before us, both in our own interests and the interests of 00:03:04
the world at large. 00:03:10
Like the rest of the world, the EU has paid close attention to China's peaceful rise in 00:03:13
trade terms. 00:03:17
Today, the view from Shanghai's Bund district is a neon wall of skyscrapers and foreign 00:03:18
advertising. 00:03:23
In every Chinese city, cranes stand tall, new buildings appear overnight. 00:03:24
The opening up of the Chinese economy has provided diverse opportunities in which the 00:03:30
relationship between the two has deepened. 00:03:34
The purpose of open reform was to change China from a planned to a market economy, 00:03:38
and this change needs a lot of intellectual managers and management personnel. 00:03:49
They can understand how to operate the business in a market economy. 00:03:53
The China-Europe International Business School in Shanghai was established ten years ago 00:04:00
to meet increasing demands for managerial competence. 00:04:04
The Chinese government has been keen to invest in human resources and they've looked to Europe 00:04:08
to help bridge that gap. 00:04:12
Introducing international business standards and education has played a significant role 00:04:14
in China's growth. 00:04:18
Yes, we have had huge change. 00:04:21
In China, the big change is that people have freedom to do what they want. 00:04:25
They're willing to do what they want and create their own business. 00:04:28
A graduate of the business school, David Yu is a good example of the new China. 00:04:35
Five years ago, David was manager in a state-run enterprise. 00:04:40
Today he is founder and president of what US Fortune magazine has called the coolest 00:04:43
company in China. 00:04:47
Target Media produces LCD advertising screens aimed at China's growing domestic market of 00:04:49
middle class. 00:04:54
But China is still a developing country and remains a country of very different lifestyles. 00:04:58
Ten years ago, the first steps towards democracy were made in more than a million villages 00:05:03
across China with the introduction of village elections. 00:05:07
Guangjin is a rural village in the far north of China. 00:05:11
Villagers have recently elected their new committee and village chairman. 00:05:14
Having this system means that everyone can be scrutinized. 00:05:21
The new system lets the villagers believe more in their leaders. 00:05:24
Therefore this system is very good. 00:05:28
This village governance program is a very good system. 00:05:30
Through the program, training is first given on how to organize elections and newly elected 00:05:39
officials are then trained on how to administer the village, plan services, solve civil conflicts 00:05:43
and give advice on farm production. 00:05:49
Before elections were introduced, all decisions were made by the local party branch. 00:05:54
Now villages run themselves and, importantly, the income from farm production is kept by 00:05:58
the farmers. 00:06:03
It may seem a slow step, but economic freedom has had a real impact for Zhu Yongkang and 00:06:04
his family. 00:06:09
With the money from his farm, he built his own house two years ago. 00:06:10
You are not born with democracy. 00:06:15
900 million people are peasants in China, so China's business is the peasants' business. 00:06:20
If we do well for the peasants, then we do well for China. 00:06:26
Our EU program fits exactly into China's needs and fits into the Chinese reality. 00:06:30
Adapting to the Chinese reality has been central to the partnership between the EU and China. 00:06:42
And across Europe, that partnership has a strong presence. 00:06:47
Hamburg is home to Europe's largest concentration of Chinese culture and business interests. 00:06:51
It's estimated that a Chinese company opens a branch here every ten days. 00:06:56
But Hamburg is a gateway not just for Chinese products. 00:07:01
Over 10,000 Chinese have made a home for themselves in their Hanbao. 00:07:04
At government level, the deepening of the partnership can be seen in the many agreements 00:07:12
that have been signed in recent years. 00:07:16
From trade, to science and technology, to the tourism agreement which came into operation 00:07:18
last year, and should see large numbers of Chinese tourists visit Europe. 00:07:23
On wider cultural and human rights issues, the EU's steady diplomatic relationship with 00:07:28
China is pivotal internationally. 00:07:32
It leaves the EU uniquely positioned to maintain an open and continuing dialogue with the People's 00:07:35
Republic. 00:07:39
Both sides have already accumulated experience on how to properly handle their differences 00:07:43
and contradictions. 00:07:47
It is on the basis of equality, dialogue, consultation as well as the improvement of 00:07:48
mutual understanding. 00:07:53
The two sides will properly handle their differences and their problems in their bilateral ties. 00:07:55
As the EU consolidates its position through enlargement, it's also strengthening peaceful 00:08:05
partnerships worldwide. 00:08:09
At ongoing summits of EU and Chinese leaders, new reasons are found to continue discussions 00:08:11
and balance development. 00:08:16
The alliance continues. 00:08:18
