The year 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership and the 25th anniversary of the China-EU Summit mechanism. How should we assess the current state of China-EU relations? Looking ahead to 2024, what developments can we anticipate? During the 24th China-EU Summit in early December, Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized that the two sides should do more to enhance the breadth and depth of cooperation and strengthen the bond built on shared interests. How do the two sides define these "shared interests," and in what areas do they differ?

The guests today are Adam Dunnett, Secretary General of EU Chamber of Commerce in China; Shada Islam, Founder and Director of New Horizons Project; Prof. Huang Jing, Director of the Institute of the U.S. and Pacific Studies at Shanghai International Studies University; Michael Schumann, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the German Federal Association for Economic Development and Foreign Trade.
