Summary
After years of stalled China–EU trade talks, the two sides have launched a new Trade and Investment Consultation Mechanism, holding its first high-level meeting and, notably, issuing a joint statement, the first of its kind since 2019. So is this the beginning of a more stabilized China–EU economic framework, or the embedding of a managed trade confrontation? Host Ge Anna is joined by Liang Linlin, Director of Communication and Research of China Chamber of Commerce to the European Union; Hussein Askary, Vice-President of the Belt and Road Institute in Sweden; Dr. George Tzogopoulos, Director of EU-China Programmes and Senior Research Fellow, at European Institute of Nice.
