According to the German "China Platform" website reported on December 22nd, the European Commission plans to strengthen monitoring of China's economic policies. To this end, the European Commission has launched a tender project aimed at monitoring China's economic policies and their impact on EU-China relations across Europe. The tender is issued by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Trade. On the 22nd, this institution based in Brussels issued a tender announcement. This tender involves operating a "China Observation Station" project. This observatory will regularly provide analysis reports on the development of China's economy over a period of 4 years, and establish and maintain a database of direct investments between the EU and China. The project aims to provide EU decision-makers with the necessary data and analysis for trade and investment policies.
