Julian Tucker and Johannes Nordin
The chapter explores China’s growing international engagement and changing perceptions, discussing how Beijing’s trade priorities and supply chains affect Europe. It subsequently addresses Beijing’s authoritarian tendencies over the past decade and how they impact the logic that has long underpinned Sino-European relations. Finally, it looks ahead with a discussion on how the European Union and Sweden should act moving forward.
