How does the Chinese population view the European Union? AIA Fellow Prof. Reza Hasmath was able to collect demographically representative data on the Chinese mainland in the first quarter of 2024 and presented the results of his research at the AIA Fellow Colloquium.

While China itself is seen as a global power whose role in the world still needs to be strengthened, Japan and the USA in particular are viewed with great distrust. Russia is viewed very positively, but less attention is paid to the EU, Germany and France. Nevertheless, there is the second greatest potential for cooperation with Germany after Russia. The lively discussion will be continued and expanded in a few weeks’ time at Prof. Hasmath’s workshop on European-Chinese future scenarios.
