China stands ready to pursue mutual benefit and win-win results with the European Union (EU), Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.
Guo refused to comment on relations between European countries and the United States after President Donald Trump's renewed tariff threats against European allies amid rising tension over Greenland have deepened the transatlantic rift.

Chinese box-office hits are making waves overseas, with animated feature "All Wishes Come True" premiering in Australia and the sports comedy "Kung Fu Soccer" making its international debut in Malaysia on Monday to enthusiastic audiences.
In Sydney, Australia, the event site of the story inspired by the legend of the Eight Immortals was transformed into a mystical "Penglai Wonderland," with many moviegoers posing for photos alongside characters. The film is scheduled for a wide release across multiple Australian cities this Thursday.
"It's such a typical Chinese storytelling, really funny, really fast, full of action, but there's a moral story being told there, which slowly unravels. I love the movie," said David White, an Australian sound editor.
On the same day, another Chinese film, "Kung Fu Soccer", held its premiere in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Distributors said Chinese films have long enjoyed broad popularity in the southeast Asian country, and the strong box-office performance of the movie in China has raised their expectations for its Malaysian run.
The film will hit 138 cinemas across Malaysia starting this Thursday.
"Actually, I was kind of impressed with how Stephen Chow directed his movie before. We watched like since we were young, CJ7 and then Kung Fu Hustle. So this could be another trilogy of him. So that's why we wanted to see it and the comedy of the soccer as well inside it, it was really engaging for us. That's why I want to watch it," said a moviegoer.
"Like Kung Fu or Shaolin things, it's just unique to me, it's very cool to me," said another moviegoer.
In recent years, a number of outstanding Chinese films, including Ne Zha and Dear You, have gained notable acclaim in Malaysia following their releases. The growing overseas presence of Chinese audiovisual works continues to foster mutual understanding and has introduced a wider Malaysian audience to Chinese culture.
