JOHN FARNELL: Will Brexit Transform EU-China Relations?
We dive into the topic of Brexit and its impact on EU-China relations. We will discuss the role that the United Kingdom played within the European debate on China and hear some predictions about post-Brexit dynamics.
Our guest today is John Farnell, a former European Commission’s Director responsible for international affairs at DG Enterprise (now DG GROW) and a Senior Advisor at the EU-Asia Centre think tank in Brussels. In his work, he co-shaped EU-China economic relations, which he is continuing to study as a Research Associate at the University of Oxford China Centre. As a UK citizen and accomplished EU official, he is uniquely positioned to assess the impact of Brexit on EU-China relations both in economic and institutional terms.
