On November 22, the Centre for East Asian Studies at the University of Groningen successfully held a discussion roundtable as part of the ReConnect China project. The event took place in Groningen, the Netherlands, and consisted of two panels.
The morning panel focused on discourse in EU-China relations, exploring how statements by public authorities or private entities on social media or in media outlets relate to and shape economic interaction. The afternoon panel focused on the current state of EU-China economic relations, and on policy directions for the EU. The morning panel featured the following presenters: Cristina Pinna (University of Groningen), Bart Dessein (Ghent University), Joost Herman (University of Nottingham Ningbo), and Frank Gaenssmantel (University of Groningen). The afternoon panel featured the following presenter: Ding Chun (Center for European Studies at Fudan University), Martin Albers (State of Hamburg, presenting his own views), Lukas Linsi (University of Groningen), Françoise Nicolas (IFRI Center for Asian Studies), and Lin Goethals (European Institute for Asian Studies).
