Ti Kosmos podcastΕυρώπη-Κίνα: Μία Περίπλοκη Σχέση / by IDIS ProgramΟι σχέσεις Ευρώπης και Κίνας είναι εξαιρετικά πολύπλοκες και πολυδιάστατες. Η Ευρώπη διατηρεί μια σχέση αλληλεξάρτησης με την Κίνα, καθώς εξαρτάται σε μεγάλο βαθμό από αυτήν για κρίσιμα υλικά, όπως οι σπάνιες γαίες, ενώ το καθημερινό εμπόριο μεταξύ ΕΕ και Κίνας ανέρχεται στα 2,3 δισεκατομμύρια ευρώ. Παρά ταύτα, οι ευρωπαϊκές χώρες δεν μοιράζονται ενιαία στρατηγική για την προσέγγιση της Κίνας. Οι επιδεινούμενες σχέσεις ΗΠΑ-Κίνας, καθώς και γεωπολιτικοί παράγοντες όπως ο πόλεμος στην Ουκρανία, καθιστούν το τοπίο ακόμα πιο σύνθετο. Ποια είναι η στάση της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης και των επιμέρους χωρών, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της Ελλάδας, απέναντι στην Κίνα; Υπάρχει μια σαφής στρατηγική; Όλα αυτά τα ερωτήματα αναλύει ο κύριος Πλάμεν Τόντσεφ, επικεφαλής του Τμήματος Ασιατικών Σπουδών στο Ινστιτούτο Διεθνών Οικονομικών Σχέσεων. * Αυτή η συζήτηση αποτελεί μέρος της σειράς podcast του Κινεζικού Προγράμματος του Ινστιτούτου Διεθνών Σχέσεων, σε συνεργασία με το "Ti Kosmos podcast".

Europe maintains an interdependent relationship with China, relying heavily on the country for critical rare earth materials. In fact, daily EU-China trade amounts to 2.3 billion euros. However, European countries lack a unified approach on how to engage with China. Tensions in US-China relations, coupled with geopolitical challenges such as the war in Ukraine, further complicate the landscape. What is the perspective of the European Union and individual countries, including Greece, towards China? Is there a coherent strategy in place? To address these questions we have invited Mr. Plamen Tonchev*, Head of Asia Unit Institute of International Economic Relations (IDOS/IIER). This podcast is part of IDIS- China Program podcast Series, in cooperation with “Ti Kosmos podcast”. The host of the podcast is Marilisa Anastasopoulou.
