Sino-German and Sino-EU Relations in Times of Global Crises

Sino-German and Sino-European relations are undergoing a profound transformation, shaped by shifting global power dynamics and intensifying geopolitical tensions. This volume examines how trust can emerge, endure, or erode across differing political systems. It pays particular attention to the meaning of strategic narratives and evolving role-identity dynamics in framing mutual perceptions. By situating these factors within broader global developments, the volume shows how they increasingly influence both present interactions and the future trajectory of relations between Europe and China in a rapidly changing world order.
