The Institute for China-Europe Studies (ICES) has the pleasure to invite you to follow online our Hybrid Expert Discussion:

The impact of the 2024 U.S. elections on Europe-China relations: A triangular dialogue

The 5th of November 2024 marked the 60th quadrennial presidential election of the United States of America. Following it, the newly elected President, Donald J. Trump will take office and implement his domestic and foreign policy through his chosen administration. This will have both an immediate and far-reaching influence on world affairs, including on the relations between Europe and China. To get a clear picture of what will happen concerning such a complex tripartite relationship, it is essential to explore the following questions: How will the election result influence the Europe-US and China-US relations respectively? How will Europe-China relations be affected by the outcome of the US election? Will the upcoming US administration adopt its foreign policy, including its policy toward the EU, all through a China prism? How will the EU and China react? Is it possible to achieve mutual “freedom of action”?

Trying to find answers to these questions, the Institute for China-Europe Studies (ICES) decided to organize this hybrid expert discussion. A panel composed of experts from Europe, China, and the US will lead the talk, followed by a roundtable discussion and a Q&A session (for the specifics, please see the program below).
