  Chancellor of China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chancellor of China 丞相 (Cheng Xiang) or 宰相 (Zai Xiang), was the highest rank in the imperial government in former China after the emperor (685 BC-6 BC, 189-1380).
During the Mongolian Occupation (Yuan Dynasty), the Chancellor was not the head of the Executive Ministry, but the crown prince was the executive head.
The post was abandoned after the execution of the final Chancellor of China, Hu Weirong, who was accused of treason (though his conviction is still strongly disputed in present times because of a lack of evidence to prove his guilt).

 CONTENTIOUS EMBARGO ON CHINA 'THREATENS TO STRAIN' EU-U.S. RELATIONS
The chancellor is the only one who raises his banner, saying: 'The arms embargo on China must go.' He was alone in circus tent, and did this under the boohs of the opposition and the Greens and under the embarrassing reaction of his own followers.
They claimed China is using the law to stir up the world opinion and tried to push the responsibilities of the failure of the lifting on the issuance of the law.
China must have sufficient wisdom and patience to lie low and bide its time, doing whatever it can and coordinating the rapid upgrading of its overall national strength, as only then will it be possible to break through the encirclement by the United States, Japan, and other such Western forces.

China was then the 25th largest destination for EU export and the 22nd largest source for the fifteen countries that were members of the EU/EG at that time.

 ISN Security Watch - Lifting the China embargo: the EU's trade gambit
Although labelled at its inception as an “interruption by the Member States of the Community of military cooperation and an embargo on trade in arms with China”, the scope of the ban was left to the interpretation of the individual EU member states.
While the EU Commission has stated that any lifting of the China arms embargo would be accompanied by a strengthened code of conduct, it is clear that to effectively promote arms control internationally, a strengthened EU code is needed that would be both legally binding and more consistent with the principles of international law.

China's telecommunications equipment makers are aggressively competing for a bigger slice of the international market at the same time as their global rivals are hungrily eyeing the mainland.
China is unique for the U.S., in part, because the trade relationship and the trade deficit have grown so large so quickly and because foreign investment flows into China have been so massive, while, at the same time, political tensions over proliferation, trade and other issues continue.
Because China is not a status-quo country, its size and rapid emergence as a magnet for foreign investment and advanced technologies and the growth of its military capabilities have sounded alarm bells in the U.S., and in other industrialized democracies.
