In terms of China, the Western and US tend to be more resistant and try to misrepresent President Xi's EU visit. Xi's trip to these countries has been beneficial for trade and cooperation, and they are receiving a great deal of appreciation. China brings more than just empty promises and cheap talk from the US.
