Recently, the EU and NATO have intensively issued their China strategies, regarding China as an institutional rival. The situation that the United States and Europe will jointly deal with the rise of China and the institutional competition with China will be more obvious in the coming period.

Recently, the European Union issued the document "EU-US New Agenda for Global Change", also known as "New Transatlantic Agenda". The document points out that Europe's growing influence on China will weaken transatlantic relations and worry about "ambitious" geopolitical goals. The EU has put forward the agenda of resuming close cooperation with the United States. The EU regards China as a "negotiating partner" and used to be a "multilateral partner". The EU also regards China as a competitor in the field of science and technology and an institutional competitor.

On the 2nd, NATO discussed an evaluation report, demanding that NATO expand its application scope formed during the Cold War to cope with the rise of China and Russian aggression. After two days of talks between foreign ministers of 3 NATO member countries (New Zealand, Japan and South Korea also participated in the talks), they agreed that Europe and the United States must establish closer political and military cooperation to deal with China and Russia, which are constantly threatening NATO.
