In this episode, we shift our focus to the intricate dynamics between China and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). How has the 16+1 (now 14+1) framework for China-CEE cooperation evolved since its inception in 2012, and does it still serve a purpose, or is it merely a relic of the past?
Join us as we explore these critical questions:
- Why did the Baltic states withdraw from the China-CEE cooperation framework, and what does this mean for the Czech Republic's involvement?
- Is China pursuing a "divide and conquer" strategy in Europe through its bilateral ties with countries like Hungary and Serbia?
- Should the CEE region be concerned about Chinese investments, particularly in cases like Montenegro?
- What does the future hold for China-CEE relations amid shifting geopolitical realities?
Our expert guests—Associate Professor Jeremy Garlick from Prague University of Economics and Business and Assistant Professor Richard Turcsányi from Palacký University Olomouc—bring their extensive knowledge to this engaging discussion.
Tune in to gain fresh insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping the relationship between China and the CEE region today.
