Trade is easier within the Eurozone but EU tariffs etc. for outside trade make it more difficult across it's borders. Norway is a good example of this, although they haven't been quite as succesful as they thought, I expect them to join up eventually.
China and Turkey have been creating stonger ties for a long time on all levels, economy, military and political. Turkey would be a good foothold for China in the west, close to Europe and a Nato-country.
