In this research work, Author focus on the analysis of the new challenges for economic relations between European Union and People’s Republic China. What indicates the importance and innovativeness of the research is the presentation of the technical progress especially in China, the growth of economic ties with the European Union and the benefits resulting from liberalised of the China foreign trade policy under WTO. Accordance to the foreign trade policy theory further trade liberalisation and improved framework policies would increase trade and promote growth. In the new circumstances for the development of the global economy and the global trade, People’s Republic of China seems to be a production superpower, able to change the world trade and also the European Union’s extra trade. In many areas it possesses comparative advantages. China may continue their development to specialise in electronics and increasingly in services. With or without further trade agreements between two partners, services will be more traded and trade policies will have to adjust to changes in the organisation of global value change. With new investments, a country can transform its position through industrial expansion at home and sustain it through international trade. China is especially sensitive to the advantages of intensive growth and will not wish to disrupt essential economic arrangements that have been crucial to her success. The main aim of the article is the presentation of the new challenges for the economic relations between European Union and China.

W połowie drugiego dziesięciolecia dwudziestego pierwszego wieku w rozwoju gospodarczym Unii Europejskiej i Chińskiej Republiki Ludowej pojawiły się nowe tendencje i wyzwania wynikające z istotnych zmian jakościowych. W pracy podkreśla się, że w obecnych warunkach najważniejszą kwestią jest nie tylko wysoka dynamika wzrostu, ale także efektywność rozwoju gospodarczego Chin. Szczególną uwagę zwraca się na wyrównywanie poziomów rozwoju gospodarczego poszczególnych prowincji, w tym słabiej rozwiniętych prowincji zachodnich, wzrost innowacji i wiedzy, intensywne wsparcie nowoczesnych przemysłów o wysokim poziomie technologicznym, takich jak technologie informatyczne, elektronika, biotechnologie, nowe źródła bardzo potrzebnej energii, jak hydroenergia, biomasa, energia wiatrowa itp. Równocześnie podkreśla się znaczenie rozwoju usług, tworzenie klasy średniej opartej na mieszkańcach dotychczas utrzymujących się z rolnictwa, kwestie wzrostu płac i rynku wewnętrznego oraz ochronę środowiska naturalnego. Z kolei dla Unii Europejskiej w obecnej perspektywie budżetowej, czyli w latach 2014-2020, niezwykle istotne znaczenie ma realizacja Strategii Europa 2020 z Unią Innowacyjną i jej finansowym instrumentem pod nazwą Horyzont. Działania te istotnie wpływają na zmiany w dynamice i strukturze wymiany handlowej oraz współpracy inwestycyjnej między Unią Europejską a Chinami. Głównym celem tematu badawczego jest przedstawienie nowych wyzwań dla stosunków ekonomicznych między Unią Europejską a Chinami wynikających z zachodzących zmian jakościowych w rozwoju gospodarczym partnerów współpracy.
