In an interview with CGTN reporter Li Jingjing in Beijing, Mick Wallace, a member of the European Parliament, says Europe needs a different approach to working with other countries to solve global challenges instead of still behaving like colonists.

"We've had war, we've had imperialism, we've had colonialism, we had too much of it," he said. He believes that led to billions of people worldwide still living in poverty and changing approach is in urgent need.

"We think Europe needs to work more closely with China and with everybody else," Wallace said.
