Introduction

Jared Bot is the specialist digital editor of the South China Morning Post. He's stepping in for my colleague Holly Chick while she's been called away on assignment. In this episode we're going to analyze the concerted campaign of diplomacy being launched by Beijing across Europe. You'll also hear about the work being done by Wang Yi and Xin Gong as China tries to shore up its relationships with Europe. And conversely, we'll hear why the EU is showing a lot of interest in Asia. It will also hear me ask exactly what does the risk from China mean.
