December 4, 2023: Zsuzsa Anna Ferenczy, Associated Research Fellow at ISDP, was quoted in Euractiv in an article titled “Will the EU-China summit be another ‘dialogue of the deaf’?”

“With its economy severely underperforming, Beijing also has an interest in slowing Europe’s de-risking. China needs Europe, which should give Europeans the kind of leverage they failed to use in the past,” said Zsuzsa Anna Ferenczy.

“With this in mind, the EU must stick to its de-risking strategy with confidence, and also uphold its position concerning China’s – and Chinese companies – support to Russia, mindful that China wants stability – and economic growth – in its relations with Europe,” she added.
