he said current trade tensions between major countries are hurting the global economy mccaw is leading a european business delegation keen to strike lucrative deals with asia's number one powerhouse. at the international import expo in shanghai mccraw and she raised a glass to global trade but behind the bonamy are deeper efforts to ease the tensions stifling global commerce the e.u. wants china to open its markets further in china's financial capital mccrum was keen for a show of european unity as the u.s. and china engage in a bitter fight over tariffs. acknowledge me technology climate 3 absolutely decisive issues and all 3 have a guiding principle and i will stop there is the ability of europeans to work together to coordinate together and then talk affectedly with their chinese partner . she repeated his mantra about globalization and opening up chinese

of china's markets but what investors really see of this is about deals striking deals between the chinese government chinese companies and u.s. and french companies really last year there were about $60000000000.00 worth of a deal struck out at this point conference i think it there they're going to be looking for for more quickly abberation and they're really looking particularly in the ira cultural and financial sectors for for more copper cooperation between the e.u. companies and chinese companies but just just this sort of a side note is somewhat odd that the french president is spearheading a european delegation. i think a year ago maybe that would have been a super and years role but over the past several months there's there's really been . a pretty significant power dynamic shift within that within the e.u. leadership so sort of in the void of of germany's power and

in the leadership change within the commission that. was really a position to himself as as the leader of europe so i think and then that sense he's really been filling this role for several months now so it in china he's now speaking for europe if you like and the e.u. wants a level playing field but that goes both ways right. it certainly does and that hasn't really been a big part of this conversation a lot of a lot of these trade negotiations have really focused on what china can be doing to be more open to european investment to american investment but china also has some criticisms of you restrictions on investment here so over the past year the e.u. has been big on screening chinese investment in into the u.s. or into interior out and they can sometimes block mergers block company ownership so i think that hasn't really been a part of these discussions but it could be it could become part of the sessions

going forward as they negotiate a broader invest that pact that could sort of east some of the restrictions on chinese investment and into europe which has caused a lot of concern all right chelsey delaney there reporting for us from frankfurt thank you so much. now greece is the partner country and to the import export expo in shanghai it's pinning its hopes on chinese investment to get the economy going again and tourism is playing a huge role come july next year there will be direct flights connecting shanghai to athens another mode of transport of course will be cruise ships headed for the old port of people rayos for 3 years now china's gateway to europe the greek port of parathas is china's good way to europe it's the 1st deep sea port that continues ships from asia reach after passing through the suez canal china wants to make it the final destination on its new maritime silk road it spending billions to expand
