China initiated a new round of diplomatic outreach to Japan and the European Union this week .

A delegation of Japanese lawmakers traveled to Beijing and a Chinese military delegation went to Japan for the first time in five years .

Analysts say China is trying to test the alliance between Washington and its allies through the diplomatic efforts.

China has also been trying to improve relations with the EU amid rising trade tensions.

Experts say China 's outreach to the EU is part of Beijing ’s attempt to weaken the alliance between Washington and Brussels ahead of the return to office.

China could leverage its influence over certain EU member states to veto certain parts of EU 's foreign policy agenda, expert says.

China 's approach is unlikely to soften the EU ’s tough trade approach against Beijing .
