EU to deepen competition with China

This week on the Beyond the Byline podcast, we discuss the geopolitical complications of the EU’s relations with China. The European Council will hold a strategic discussion on China for the first time since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In a preview of this upcoming meeting, EU leaders and diplomats mentioned earlier in the week in Luxembourg that the bloc’s rivalry with China has deepened over the past few years. The reasons include both geopolitics and economics, as China is one of the EU’s strongest competitors regarding trade, raw materials and technology.
