China’s Economic Coercion in the EU has Caught the Chinese on the Wrong Foot

Associate Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr Swasti Rao’s article ‘China’s Economic Coercion in the EU has caught the Chinese on the Wrong Foot’ has been published by
the Organisation for Research on China and Asia (ORCA) on 28 February 2022.
China’s divisive tactic in the EU is failing as it sets a “bad international precedent” which will discourage other European countries from trusting China as a bankable economic partner, further thwart the China- EU investment deal, internationalise the issue and weaken the now ‘16+1’ mechanism as the Czech Republic and Slovenia refuse to buckle down to China’s pressures, says Dr Rao.
