As the U.S. and its close allies are calming things down with China, especially after the Xi-Biden summit in San Francisco, how about the EU bloc? How can we interpret  the EU defining China as partner, competitor, and systemic rival at the same time? Is “de-risking” working for the bloc? And where exactly is China-EU relationship heading for? To answer these questions and more, we are honored to have an exclusive interview with Mr. Wu Hongbo, Special Representative of the Chinese Government on European Affairs.
