China in European Narratives: Policy

This book explores how China, and especially Chinas Belt and Road Initiative, is viewed in European media and by European think tanks, thereby uncovering European elites views of China. Looking across Europe--the European Union, Western Europe (including the United Kingdom), Central Europe, and Eastern Europe--the book reveals a complex picture, with different views in different places, and with different aspects of China disproportionately emphasized in some places. As Chinas importance in the world continues to grow, it is crucial to understand how distorted views of China are shaping international relations.
