One of the most consequential trends of the 21st century is the transformation of the world order from a unipolar to a multipolar world order, in which the European Union and China will play a leading role alongside several other poles.
From 6th to 9th June, the European Parliament faced its once-every-five-year elections. Over 400 million voters in the 27 member states of the EU casted their votes to elect the 720 members of the next European Parliament, after which the new leadership of the various EU institutions were selected and appointed. The periodic elections and subsequent leadership appointments will set the tone for political trends in Europe as well as the direction of the EU's internal and external policies.
On the China front, the 2019-2024 term saw remarkable developments on the EU’s views and approach vis-à-vis China. An increasingly fraught trade and political bilateral relationship, together with emerging challenges and black swan events such as COVID-19 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, have all contributed to a more assertive EU stance towards China, as well as a stronger political will to ensure reciprocity and reduce distortive practices in the Single Market.
What do the initial results of the EU elections mean for the EU’s economic, political, climate and technological roadmap, as well as for its relationship with China?
Join us on 19th June for the fresh insights from scholars and experts to interpret the European Parliament election results, especially the changes in policies and leaders and outlook of EU-China Relations.
*This is a hybrid event with limited onsite seating to be reserved on a first-come-first served basis.
*The event is held in English with no translation services and off the record.
