recently, the prime ministers of two european countries, spain and norway, visited china successively. during the visit, china and spain signed a cooperation agreement in the field of green development, and china and norway issued a joint statement on establishing a green transformation dialogue. this sends a clear signal to the international community: deepening and expanding green cooperation is the common desire of china and europe. against the backdrop of accelerating the global green and low-carbon transformation, strengthening green cooperation between china and europe is not only in the interests of both sides, but will also strongly promote global green development.

china and europe have extensive common interests and huge space for cooperation in the field of green development. maintaining good dialogue and cooperation between the two sides has not only brought tangible benefits to both sides, but also made important contributions to global response to climate change and sustainable development. china and europe each have their own advantages in the development of green industries. china's green technology innovation and production capacity are providing the world with effective solutions from electric vehicles to clean energy. europe's rich practice in green finance and policies can provide experience support for this cooperation. the two sides complement each other's advantages. through cooperation in green technology, policy and innovation, china and europe will jointly promote global green transformation and create a more sustainable future.
during his visit to china, norwegian prime minister støre said that china has developed rapidly in the field of new energy technology in recent years, including solar panels, electric vehicles and other products with wide influence. he said that norway looks forward to expanding cooperation with china in the fields of green development, climate change response, new energy vehicles and other fields. witnessed by spanish prime minister sanchez, spain and china signed a hydrogen energy cooperation agreement. according to the agreement, chinese companies will build a zero-carbon hydrogen energy industrial park in spain, layout hydrogen energy equipment factories and green hydrogen industry chains, and help spain and europe's carbon neutral transformation and green new industrial system construction. these cooperations not only reflect the broad prospects of china-europe green cooperation, but will also set an example for china and europe to jointly lead the global climate governance process and provide the world with new ideas for green cooperation.
at present, mankind is facing an increasingly urgent challenge to cope with climate change, and green transformation has become a global trend. as major economies in the world, china and europe shoulder the responsibility of leading the world towards low-carbon and sustainable development. as un climate change experts have said, global climate issues cannot be solved by a single region or country alone, and transnational cooperation and technology sharing are the only way for the world to achieve green and low-carbon transformation.

however, the eu has launched anti-subsidy investigations on green energy products imported from china, which runs counter to the general trend of global green cooperation and is also controversial within the eu. green cooperation is about the future of the world, not temporary gains and losses, and is essentially win-win rather than zero-sum. attempts to protect local industries through trade barriers cannot change the reality of the global climate crisis and are setting obstacles for the global response to climate change. the world needs more high-quality green products and technological innovations, and these products and technologies must be fairly circulated and shared globally. china's successful experience in electric vehicles, renewable energy and other fields can provide useful reference for other countries in the world. michael schumann, chairman of the german federal association for economic development and foreign trade, said that china has become an innovation-driven force in the field of electric transportation and plays an important role in the green and low-carbon transformation of the global transportation industry. if the eu chooses protectionism, it will only hinder its own green transformation process.
in the face of the global climate change crisis, cooperation and mutual trust are the only way to solve the problem. the eu should seize the opportunity to cooperate with china and show more strategic foresight and responsibility at the critical moment of global climate governance. by deepening green cooperation, china and the eu can not only open up new horizons for their respective economic development, but also inject more momentum into global climate governance and jointly lead the world towards a greener and more prosperous future.
