The aim of this paper is to discuss why the EU claimed itself as normative power and keen to diffuse its norms to China but has very little effect. It will look at the concept of normative power Europe as it is a fundamental principle of EU foreign policy.1 It will then examine EU official policy documents relating to China and bilateral issues such as trade, strategic partnership and human rights. It starts by reviewing EU policy toward China and illustrate how the official Chinese policy documents of the European Commission contain normative principles. Then, it goes on to examine the issues of trade, the EU-China strategic partnership, and human rights, which present a clear picture. Most objectives outlined in the EU official documents have not yet been achieved and EU normative principles are not the source of its ineffective policy. |
