Jin Ling: China-EU Relations and Challenges in the Context of Multipolarization

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the European Union and China. As a multipolar world is emerging, China and Europe navigate a dynamic of both friction and cooperation, exploring new paradigms of competition and collaboration, and reshaping the global multipolar order through the clash of concepts. In this episode, CISS China Forum invited Dr. Jin Ling, Director and Senior Research Fellow of the Department for Global Governance and International Organizations at the China Institute of International Studies, to share her insights on the mindsets and administrative models shaping China-EU relations. She will discuss in depth the conceptual divergence between EU’s “values-based diplomacy” and China’s emphasis on “civilizational diversity”, along with their implications for the international order.
