China's top diplomat Wang Yi visits Europe to seek closer ties
China's top diplomat Wang Yi is on his way to Europe, as Beijing seeks closer ties with the region as a counterweight to Washington. He will visit the EU's headquarters in Brussels, as well as France and Germany. China and the EU have been grappling with deep frictions, including a more than US$350 billion trade deficit. Both parties have also been imposing tit-for-tat tariffs, with the EU seeking to get tougher on what it deems as China's unfair economic practices. Tan Si Hui reports.Â
