The EU-China relation in 2021 – systemic rivalry and business partner?
Under Germany’s Council presidency the EU wrapped up the EU-China investment agreement. What lies ahead for the relationship between the two geopolitical power blocs in 2021? Which EU countries and industries are the most engaged with the Chinese market? How are relations changing under the self-declared geopolitical von der Leyen Commission and amid continuing allegations of human rights violations in China? As POLITICO Europe editor in Chief Stephen Brown put it: “[The EU-China relationship] is probably the most important – and troubled – diplomatic relationship of our times. Every policy conversation in Brussels, London, Paris or Berlin these days starts or ends with China and it’s a relationship that is getting more complicated by the week.”
