Ambassador Chapuis on EU-China Relations

Ambassador Chapuis on EU-China Relations

2021 was a tumultuous year in EU-China relations. It began with both sides celebrating the agreement of a new investment deal. Its end was marked by the worst crisis in relations between Brussels and Beijing since 1981—with Lithuania imitating the Dutch diplomats that came before and recalling its representatives as Vilnius' bilateral relationship with Beijing soured and was downgraded. The EU and China also imposed tit-for-tat sanctions on several officials and Members of the European Parliament. Annus horribilis comes to mind. But Brussels' man in Beijing, Ambassador Nicolas Chapuis, is optimistic. Behind the headlines of sanctions and showdowns at the World Trade Organization is engagement, and not only where it is easy for the two sides to agree - the environment, global development, and so on - but where the two are ideologically poles apart. Make no mistake, fixing EU-China relations will not be easy, as Ambassador Chapuis explains to Joe Cash. Both sides continue to ask a lot of each other—and there are areas where they will likely never agree. But, as the Ambassador explains, there is no substitute for engagement.
