TIRANA – China “wants to be present in the world and to play a global role but they don’t have military ambitions and they don’t want to use force to participate in military conflicts,” EU foreign relations chief Josep Borrell said Tuesday after video-talks with Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi.
Wang told him as quoted by EUobserver on Wednesday that China also did not like being called a “systemic rival” in EU documents, Borrell noted.
