ThinkINchina is back with a series of online events creating opportunities for dialogues between Chinese and international experts. For the first talk we decided to discuss about the status of Sino-European relations in this very hectic 2020, with a particular focus on the effects of the U.S. elections of last November. Will a Biden administration change Washington’s stance towards China? And how will this affect Beijing’s relations with its European partners? Are we going to see an Atlantic reapprochment? Are we at the final stage of negotiating the new EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment?
Learn this and much more by watching TIC event#77 with professor Cui Hongjian, from CIIS, and professor Plamen Tonchev, from the Institute of International Economic Relations.
