| Brexit has dealt a heavy blow to Britain and the EU, and the world is still coming to terms with the result of the referendum. This seminar will examine the impact of Brexit on the future of EU-China relations, looking at the potential implications on economic and political relations and highlighting the uncertainties and dilemmas that have been created. Brexit might influence the shape of European decision-making in respect to the EU-China trade relationship. Negotiations on the EU-China bilateral investment agreement and possible free trade agreement (FTA) could be compromised, as could cooperation on the new Silk Route initiative. China might also lose the UK as its gateway for EU investment. Will China rethink its strategic approach and partnerships towards the EU as a whole? |
