The agreement, announced on 30 December by EC president Ursula von der Leyen after a video conference with Chinese President Xi Jinping, has been years in the making and came just at the end of Germany\u2019s presidency of the EU. Germany\u2019s chancellor Angela Merkel, who is expected to step down in 2021, has long been a proponent of the CAI.<\/p>\n<p>The final text of the CAI, which has not yet been published, is expected to be signed during the\u00a0French presidency of the EU presidency in 2022. On the Chinese side, the agreement was\u00a0praised\u00a0as an important step towards promoting further opening-up and higher investment standards, according to the Global Times.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The CAI includes new level-playing field provisions and introduces a unified arbitration mechanism for all member states<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The\u00a0CAI is not a full-scale trade agreement: as its title suggests, it mainly concerns issues around mutual investment in the EU and China. Proponents of the agreement point to the fact that it locks in China\u2019s past market reforms and commitments to safeguarding foreign investment, as well as the further opening-up of new sectors such as auxiliary air transport services, cloud services, and private health services. Furthermore, the CAI includes new level-playing field provisions and introduces a unified arbitration mechanism for all member states.<\/p>\n<p>The agreement should have positive spill-over effects for UK businesses, as it puts pressure on Chinese lawmakers to further liberalise the country\u2019s economy. The signing of the CAI could also make it easier for the UK to update its own outdated bilateral investment treaty with China.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/lp-cta-general\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7247 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-general.png\" alt=\"launchpad CBBC\" width=\"4680\" height=\"786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-general.png 4680w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-general-300x50.png 300w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-general-1024x172.png 1024w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-general-768x129.png 768w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-general-1536x258.png 1536w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-general-2048x344.png 2048w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-general-1920x322.png 1920w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-general-1170x197.png 1170w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-general-585x98.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4680px) 100vw, 4680px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It could hardly have been a busier end to 2020 for Europe\u2019s trade negotiators.
