Summary

The Brussels Playbook Week Ender podcast is still away on holiday — but don’t worry, we will be back next week.    In the meantime, here’s an episode from earlier this year about Europe’s attempts to protect its industry from Chinese products flooding the continent. In this conversation, which was first released in May, host Sarah Wheaton is joined by Sander Tordoir from the Centre for European Reform, Grzegorz Stec from the Mercator Institute for China Studies and POLITICO’s Jordyn Dahl to discuss the European Commission’s attempts to forge a common stance on China. The Brussels Playbook Podcast will be back to its regular schedule on Aug. 24.  Questions? Comments? Send us a message to our WhatsApp here or at +32 491 05 06 29.  Learn more about your ad choices.
