EPRS online policy roundtable: EU China relations: future trajectories and trends

EU-China relations are changing fast - and so is the outlook as seen from Europe. In this policy roundtable, experts will discuss the expected trends, challenges and key issues for EU-China relations in the coming decade. What does China’s weakening growth mean for Europe? How will Beijing’s no-limits partnership with Russia develop? What are the risks relating to China’s increasing territorial assertiveness in the Asia-Pacific? Will Chinese policies further aggravate dependencies and market distortions? The speakers will present their expectations, hopes, fears and potential scenarios for future EU-China relations, and reflect on what strategic capabilities the EU could develop in light of current trends.
