First come first serve

Partner for cooperation, economic competitor, systemic rival: That is how the European Commission described China in its 2019 strategic outlook on EU-China relations. Since then, China has become more repressive at home and more assertive abroad. Do these categories still provide adequate orientation for the EU’s approach? Should the new Commission adapt its strategy? Listen to three different perspectives on EU-China relations and challenge the speakers with your questions.
