SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #30 From partnership to rivalry: Can Germany assert itself in a world shaped by China?
DESCRIPTION:Time: 25. April 2024\, 11:00 – 12:00\nPlace: Online auf Zoom – Register here\n\n\nChina plays a leading role in world affairs and is one of the key hegemonic powers actively shaping the international system. Its economic and political significance is such that Germany and the EU must respond appropriately to these changes. This affects various areas such as economic cooperation and trade relations\, technological innovation and competitiveness as well as security and defence strategies. China is acting as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine\, while at the same time pursuing its interests in the Pacific region\, particularly in the Taiwan issue\, and in the consolidation of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). China’s position in this dynamic geopolitical environment influences the hegemonic order and calls existing power relations into question. Germany faces the challenge of strengthening its economic ties with China while at the same time safeguarding its strategic interests and values. A coordinated China strategy is required at EU level in order to adequately represent and safeguard Europe’s interests and positions.We would therefore like to discuss the following questions in GCC #30: How can Europe position itself in the strategic triangle between China\, the US and Russia? How can Germany safeguard its interests vis-à-vis China? Can the EU pursue a policy of balancing forces that takes due account of both economic opportunities and geostrategic interests? What impact could recent developments in China’s political bodies have on global dynamics? \nProgram\nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #30 will be held in German. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiterature\n\n\n\nThe impulse lectures refer to the following publication: \nWeigelin\, Schwiedrzik\, Susanne. 2023.

SUMMARY:Global China Conversations #31 Chinese Industrial Subsidies: Impacts on EU-China Trade?
DESCRIPTION:Time: 29.04.2024\, 11:00 – 12:00\nPlace: Online auf Zoom – Register here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChina makes extensive use of subsidies to promote the development of selected industries such as the green technology sectors of electric vehicles\, wind turbines and rail vehicles. According to various studies\, industrial subsidies in China are three to four times or up to nine times higher than in the major EU and OECD countries. Is the Chinese government deliberately strengthening its export offensive strategy with these massive subsidies? How could such extensive industrial subsidies from China affect EU-China trade in particular? Are European companies facing increasing market pressure as a result of such subsidies? How should the EU react to these challenges? \nProgram\nThe event consists of different impulse lectures followed by a discussion. \nThe Global China Conversation #31 will be held in German. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiterature\n\n\n\nThe impulse lectures refer to the following publication: \nBickenbach\, F.\, Dohse\, D.\, Langhammer\, Rolf J.\, und Liu\, W.-H.
