Like-minded lessons: why Australia should be watching Europe's approach to China closely

How is ‘stabilisation’ of the Australia-China relationship being viewed in Brussels, and other European capitals? 

How could Australia and Europe better work together to limit China’s global influence? 

And what lessons can Canberra learn from Brussels' approach to economic security – particularly with regard to electric vehicles? 

In this episode, Janka Oertel joins Rory Medcalf to discuss how Europe is approaching the ‘China challenge’. 

Dr Janka Oertel is Director of the Asia Programme and a Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. 

Professor Rory Medcalf AM is Head of the ANU National Security College. His professional experience spans more than three decades across diplomacy, intelligence analysis, think tanks, journalism, and academia.
