metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This paper aims to examine the EU’s foreign trade relations with China following the launch
  of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), assess trade intensity developments and identify the export
  potential of China’s largest trading partners in the EU. We established two hypotheses:
  1) in the context of the BRI, the intensity of Chinese trade to the EU was higher than the intensity
  of EU trade to China during the period considered; 2) the export potential of the EU’s
  most important partners to China in 2019 focused on higher value-added commodities in
  the context of the BRI. We used the trade intensity index to confirm hypothese 1. In the case
  of hypothese 2, the export potential indicator was used to identify products that have good
  prospects for further export. The EU is China’s largest trading partner with a growing trend
  in mutual trade. An examination of trade intensity has shown that trade flows between countries
  have been lower than expected given the position of economies in the world economy.
  German exporters recorded the highest activity, but the Netherlands recorded the highest
  intensity of Chinese exports to the EU. Coetaneous, we can say that Germany, France, Italy,
  and the Netherlands had the untapped export potential to China, which mainly concerned
  motor vehicles and parts, machinery, and pharmaceutical components. The BRI can be seen
  as a slightly positive impact on the development of trade and investment cooperation between
  the EU and China.
