Abstract

By analysing the historical picture between China and the European Union, focusing on their
trade and economic relations, and discussing the consequences of Chinese trade and
investment in Europe, this paper aims to analyse the consequences of Chinese investment in
Europe, how it is challenging the European unity, its institutional structure and its foreign
policy towards China.
