China and the EU both strongly support the United Nations Security Council （UNSC） to play a central role in coping with global threats and challenges and in safeguarding international peace and security. However，China and the EU have so far had only limited cooperation in the UNSC. This report analyses the major factors which may affect the cooperation between China and the EU，such as the EU’s status in the UN，the preference gap between China and the EU in the UN and their different perceptions of some basic international principles. It also explores the possible areas for and the objectives，ways and principles of cooperation between China and the EU in the UNSC. It draws a conclusion that although cooperation between China and the EU does exist in certain fields，there are still disparities and a long way to go before forming deep-going and comprehensive cooperation between the two sides.
