Event Details
Last year it was the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, who decisively shifted talk of "decoupling" with China to "de-risking." This seemed a more cogent expression of Europe's policy of managing risk and also distinguished Europe's approach to China which it views as a partner for cooperation, an economic competitor, and a systemic rival.
Talk of de-risking is now all the rage in boardrooms across European capitals, in Brussels, and beyond. But what it really means for companies or for policy-makers is still being assessed. Also still being assessed is whether Europe, with divergent interests and priorities among member states, can maintain a coherent China strategy. Even if the E.U. and its member states can conceptually agree on de-risking as they seek to determine what it practically implies, 2024 brings E.U. elections amid ongoing challenges with global implications in both China and Europe.
Join us for a conversation on the priorities and complexities in EU-China relations and what it all means for global business.
