Abstract
The monetary debt emergency has ended up being critical in the EU and in the Euro-zone particularly in the last couple of months. The European Monetary steadiness Facility (EFSF) was established as a tool to deal with these circumstances. However, the budgetary commitments of the EU Member Countries appear to be insufficient and China seems to be a potential donor. In March 2011, it is frequently stated that China offered to lend a helping hand to Spain and Portugal to assist in managing their financial crisis. Notwithstanding, as of late, there are endeavors from the EU member countries to persuade China participate in the EFSF. Consequently, this research aims at concentrating on the effects of the EU debt crisis on the EU – China Trade Relations, with a case study on political and economic implications.
China's huge stores empower the Asian budgetary aid to European nations in crisis management. However, there are various inquiries associated with this. The principle discoveries of this study are that China can profit from its European management of crisis from numerous aspects, since the EU is the biggest market for the Chinese commodities. On the other hand, reserve money diversification and political contemplationscannot be disregarded, either. However, the help may have genuine dangers for China: not just the expected extent of profitability is at a stake, but interior political and social pressures can rise up out of helping the Europeans who still live in fundamentally higher riches than the greater part of the Chinese individuals.
Embracing Chinese capital brings up issues for the European Union, too. China may put in place terms by which the EU may get to be defenseless and get into a dependent position, and then apparently it will be hard to solve the collaboration.

Chapter One:Introduction
As of late, it is a remarkable certainty that capital does not spill out of developed to developing financial systems but between rich nations. Lucas provides a couple of clarifications for this phenomenon. On the other hand, following the early 2000s, capital has been streaming particularly from developing economies, particularly from China and oil-trading Arab nations, towards developed nations, principally to the United States. It is a mystery circumstance that today China as an emerging nation funds the United States' debt. In view of the low reserve funds rate of the US, China's gigantic cash stores helps the Americans to have the capacity to expend more than they produce . This prompts worldwide imbalance between investments and savings. This imbalance further plays a significant task in the present crisis in many nations.[Lucas, R.E. (1990): Why Doesn’t Capital Flow from Rich to Poor Countries? The American Economic Review, 80, 2, pp. 92-96] [Morrison, W. &Labonte, M. (2011): China’s Holdings of U.S. Securities: Implications for the U.S. Economy. CRS Report for Congress, 26 September 2011.]
Owing to dealing with the monetary crisis, budgetary plan deficiencies in both the United States and Europe have gotten to be more prominent as of late in light of the high social expenditures. At this point, the primary issue for Europe is the way to maintain its competitiveness. In spite of the fact that the Lisbon Strategy announced that the EU would be the globe’s most focused financial system by 2010, this target has not been accomplished, and the fresh long term technique (EU 2020) regards raising the competitiveness such as innovation, employment, energy, poverty, and environment while taking care of the negative impacts of the debt crisis.
In view of the fact that the EU is an open reconciliation in a financial sense, its position is firmly influenced by worldwide processes as well. It is apparent that in the present day whereas the renminbi is underestimated, the dollar is exceptionally exaggerated owing to its duty as a "worldwide currency." A result of the debt crisis can be a substantial valuation for the euro compared to the dollar, which would keep on worsening the EU's focused prospects.
This paper aims at dealing with the process of the increasing of EU's debt crisis and the likelihood of collaboration between the EU and China to solve it. The research target is to establish the intentions and risks associated with collaboration from both parties. The premise of the investigation is that it is frequently referred to that China's overseas exchange reserves, which add up to 3 197.5 billion US Dollars as at 2011, empower China to financially support the Eurozone's debt crisis. The primary area of consideration will be the foundation of this whole question, and provide an outline regarding the European Union debt crisis and it intensifying. At that point, we will consider the move made so far relating to the common Chinese-European management of the crisis. We will then analyze the foundation of China's approach to Europe and the monetary and political implications that the EU needs to think about, also.
1.1 Europe’s Intensifying Debt Crisis
The United States and Europe survive in reliance on one another, and because of it, the EU is not able to evade any monetary disappointments, turmoil originating from the United States. This took place on account of the 2007 crisis, also. In this subsection, this paper provides a short review about the circumstance of the European Union amid the debt crisis.[Dallago, B. &Guglielmetti, C. (2011): The Eurozone crisis: Institutional setting, structural vulnerability, and policies. Openloc Working Paper, 12/2011, Public Policies and Local Development.]
1.1.1 Worldwide Imbalances
A few variables added to the increment of worldwide imbalances, in the same way as utilization powered development in the US which brought about financial deficiency and families' obligation on account of reduced interest rates, that encouraged a dramatic increase in the present account shortage. In the interim reserve funds designated in USD and current record surpluses of rising economies have bit by bit expanded, particularly in China. China could maintain this position due to its huge exports and its policy of maintaining its legal tender, the renminbi that deteriorated. The duty of the European Union in the worldwide imbalance is diverse. The present record of the EU was sensibly adjusted in the most recent two decades beside the year 2008. However, the amassed information may be deluding. The Eurozone's information is like the EU's, yet in the event that we analyze the individual nations, we can discover huge contrasts in balance of payments. The underperforming EU member states like Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, and Greece were constantly expanding their deficiencies since the early 2000s yet this was balanced by the Netherlands and Germany's overflow. All these lopsided characteristics are to a degree explanations behind a European and worldwide crisis.
1.1.2. Crisis in the EU
The worldwide budgetary and later financial emergency originating from the United States has had harmful effects in the EU since 2008. From that point forward a number of monetary issues have risen in the European Union. The effects of the crisis could be observed on some chosen monetary pointers.
The diagram above consists of quarterly information of the Eurozone and the European Union, in general. Concerning GDP development, the EU 27 and the Eurozone exhibits the same pattern: from the beginning of the third quarter of 2013 the GDP began to decline, and after a period of time, from the last quarter of 2013 began to increment once more. Then again, there is a slight unpredictability: the crest was in the subsequent quarter of 2013, and afterward came back again a little drop. However, these days the GDP development is by all accounts stagnant.
In terms of the rate of unemployment, the Euro region experiences higher unemployment. The region has surpassed 9 per cent as of late while the entire EU remains at around 8 percent. Note that there are evident contrasts among Member countries: the biggest rate of unemployment is recorded by Spain at 20 percent as indicated by Eurostat. Moreover, the aggregate debt of the government has been expanding ceaselessly. The Euro territory is approximately 90 percent of the GDP, whereas the entire EU is at an approximate 80 percent of the GDP. This accumulated information gives a short review how the European Union encountered the debt crisis from 2008 forthwith. The collected information covers the contrasts between the performances of the Member Countries, which may deceive.
Member countries of the European Union responded to the debt crisis in distinctive ways. A few nations did not encounter any retreat or just a little one, while different states dropped into a huge subsidence alongside abnormal state of unemployment, for instance, Spain or Irela...
