Ground Truth Briefing | China’s Relations with Eastern and Central Europe Hit a Snag
Overview
China’s Foreign Ministry founded the 17+1 mechanism (China is the “1”) with the nations of Central and Eastern Europe in 2012, in Budapest. The grouping, broadly speaking, is seen by China as a means of promoting cooperation, by CEE nations as a way of attracting Chinese investment, and by Western Europe and the United States as a wedge for weakening European unity and promoting a Sino-centric Eurasia. A new report by China Observers in Central and Eastern Europe (CHOICE) suggests that, seven years into the initiative, 17+1 has a mixed record. Please join us for a discussion the “Empty Shell No More” report and China-European-U.S. relations.

Global Europe Program
The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe” – an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
