I doubt the EU has any plan of anything. With rise of nationalism and protectionism, the EU is fighting for its own existence.

China was never a equal trade partner to the west. In fact, I don't think any of the developing countries can be equal trade partners to the developed countries. When you are weak, open your market completely to western multinational companies with huge capital and technology advantage is economical suicide, and it will benefit no one but the rich and powerful at the very top on both sides.
