The 2024 @ETNC17 report has now been released!

The report examines the viewpoints of 21 EU member states and the United Kingdom on “de-risking,” as well as the practical steps they have taken towards implementing this much-discussed policy 🇪🇺🇨🇳

[RISAP @RISAPOfficial]

In an op-ed for @POLITICOEurope, @Andreebrin argues that #China failed to gain influence in Central and Eastern Europe (#CEE), as once feared, and the greatest threat for #EU unity on China & de-risking is now about Western Europe’s business ties to China.

#Romania’s enthusiasm for #China & the #16+1 mechanism didn’t last long, as 🇷🇴🇨🇳 relations have cooled. Writing for @chinaobservers, @Andreebrin analyzes the evolution of 🇷🇴’s relations with 🇨🇳 & the 16+1 mechanism and whether Romania might formally leave.

Andreea talked about #China’s relations with #Romania, #Bulgaria, #Moldova and #Ukraine, highlighting Beijing’s limited presence and influence in the western part of the #BlackSea region and how these countries distanced themselves from China over the past few years.

[RISAP @RISAPOfficial]

This month, RISAP’s @Andreebrin participated in the conference “China’s growing presence in Central and Eastern Europe. A matter of concern?” organized in Budapest by @AndrassyUni and @KASonline.

[RISAP @RISAPOfficial]

Macron’s China visit & especially his later comments raised questions about the direction EU-China ties. But how close can Europe and China get? Writing for @ChinaObservers, RISAP’s Andrei Lungu analyzed the factors that influence Sino-European relations.

[RISAP @RISAPOfficial]

For the past decade #China’s strongest relations in #CentralandEasternEurope were based on close ties with politicians in power. RISAP's @Andreebrin argues that this strategy failed as many China-friendly #CEE leaders have been replaced by pro-Western ones

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization's silence as deadly clashes erupted between 2 members just 200km from its leaders' summit underscores the hollow nature of 'Chinese style' international organizations, argues @RISAPOfficial's Andrei Lungu
