“When it comes to Chinese influence in the economy, there are many more words than deeds.”This episode is about a new old player on the Central and Eastern European playground, namely People's Republic of China. An old player because before the fall of Communism in Europe, many countries of the region had close ties with China, even if sometimes on an on-and-off basis. A new player because with the growing global role of China, the relations between this part of Europe and the Middle Kingdom entered a new chapter. Therefore, Malwina Talik (research associate at IDM) is welcoming Ivana Karaskova, China Research Fellow and a Project Coordinator at the Association for International Affairs (AMO). Together, they will discuss Chinese interests in the Central Eastern European Region. What role do they play in China's “Going Global Strategy”?

OUR TOPICIn today’s episode, we discuss ways in which geopolitics increasingly affects global connectivity, how China’s connectivity proposal compares to that of the EU, and what should the EU do in the context of connectivity becoming a battleground for Sino-American rivalry. It is through this lens that we will take a look at the Central and Eastern Europe (including the EU’s Eastern and Southern Neighbourhood) to see how those dynamics play out in practice.OUR GUESTJakub Jakóbowski in the Coordinator of the Connectivity in Eurasia Project, as well as a Senior Fellow at the China Programme in the Centre  for Eastern Studies, a public think-tank based in Warsaw.

In today’s episode, we take a look at the 17+1 China-Central and Eastern Europe cooperation, evaluate its political and economic substance, and investigate how it ties into wider EU-China relations. Ivana Karásková is a China Research Fellow and a Project Coordinator at the Prague-based Association for International Affairs (AMO) and the coordinator of the China Observers in Central and Eastern Europe (CHOICE), a collaborative international platform bringing together China experts from 17 CEE countries. She also coordinates MapInfluenCE project aimed at tracking China’s influence in Central Europe, specifically Czechia, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia. Recently she led a group of 10 researchers from Central and Eastern and European countries to carry out an audit of 17+1 and evaluate how active or inactive the framework really is. The audit resulted in a report under a telling title “Empty shell no more: China’s growing footprint in Central and Eastern Europe”. You can find it on our website.

CEIBS’ First China-CEE Development Forum looked at Exploring Innovative Approaches to Win-Win Cooperation between China & CEE in Light of the Belt and Road Initiative. China regards Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), a potential driver of European economic growth, as a significant partner and destination for investment. Under the Belt and Road Initiative and 16+1 cooperation framework, both sides will step up their cooperation in areas such as economy and trade, investment, infrastructure construction, finance, energy, tourism, education, agriculture, cultural exchange and regional partnerships in order to facilitate mutually beneficial exchanges and innovation outcomes. In today’s globalized world, China-CEE cooperation must move beyond traditional industries like energy and infrastructure toward areas critical to people’s well-being. Therefore it is imperative for China and CEE to find answers to the following questions: What lessons can the bellwethers in emerging sectors learn from others’ successes in order to grasp strategic opportunities from the Belt and Road Initiative? How will the countries along the Belt and Road align the strategies for their dominant industries with the Belt and Road Initiative in order to maximize the advantages and interests of both sides? How can China and CEE leverage their industrial differences to develop an innovative and sustainable cooperation framework that achieves win-win results? The event centred on the theme "China-CEE Cooperation for Mutual Benefit and Win-Win Results" and included discussions on topics such as Infrastructure Construction, New energy, and E-commerce. Senior leaders in political, business and economic circles from both China and CEE shared their insights on new approaches to China-CEE cooperation aimed at achieving mutual prosperity. Speakers included: China’s Ambassador to Poland H.E. Xu Jian, Poland’s Undersecretary of State in the Ministry of Development Paweł Chorąży, Chairman of the SINO-CEE Fund and former Chairman of ICBC Prof. Jiang Jianqing, and former Polish Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance Prof. Grzegorz W. Kołodko The conference was part of CEIBS 3rd Europe Forum 2017 series of events.
