Educational Program: The Role of the EU in the US-China Rivalry

Renewing a 'united front' with America's allies to counter China has been a top priority for the Biden administration. The position Europe takes will determine the effectiveness of any US strategy. But while the US and the EU have had a close working partnership, their interests, and viewpoints are far from identical. During this educational program, we will review, analyze, and decode the perspectives and priorities of the EU and the US toward China in terms of how to manage the rise of China.
