China In Context The changing relationship between the EU and China
Throughout the European Union, a fierce political debate is raging about how to approach the relationship with China. Should China be prevented from investing in important industries, like nuclear power and 5G communication? Or would it be better to take a more pragmatic approach, recognising the potential that China has to stimulate economic growth and employment in Europe, as the region struggles to recover from the pandemic? Professor Hanns Maull, a Senior Associate Fellow at the Mercator Institute for China Studies (Merics) in Berlin. explains through how the debates about politics and economics affect the thinking about China within the EU. The podcast is hosted by Duncan Bartlett, Editor of Asian Affairs magazine.
