The outlook for the China-EU relationship in 2022
Europe is shifting its thinking on China in profound ways. The European Union, once criticized as “soft on China'', has now become outspoken on human rights issues and even sent an official parliamentary delegation to Taiwan. Deep business ties remain but within the EU, public opinion is becoming more sceptical towards China in many European countries, including some which were previously regarded as pro-Beijing. In this podcast, Professor Hanns W. Maull from the Mercator Institute for China Studies (Merics) in Berlin discusses EU-China relations with Duncan Bartlett, the Editor of Asian Affairs magazine.
