The question of whether the European Union (EU) should pivot toward China instead of aligning more closely with the United States is central to contemporary geopolitical discourse. While the EU and the US have historically maintained deep-rooted political, cultural, and military ties, changing global dynamics, the rise of multi-polarity, and shifts in economic gravity offer compelling reasons why the EU may find greater strategic benefit in deepening relations with China. This shift is not about abandoning transatlantic cooperation but recalibrating EU foreign policy to reflect a rapidly transforming global order where China offers unique economic, technological, and geopolitical opportunities.
