Our  Hungary team member Tamás Matura and Slovakia member Matej Šimalčík have contributed to the country chapters on the respective countries regarding the impact of COVID-19 epidemic on China-Europe relations.

This ETNC special report seeks to identify and underline key developments in bilateral relations between China and a wide range of European countries, and to highlight debates that these relations inspire across Europe within the context of the evolving health crisis. It is a collection of independent analyses from 19 countries meant to compare notes on country-level experiences.

The goal here is not to be exhaustive or definitive – indeed, the crisis is still unfolding across much of Europe and the globe, and the potential for change is still great. Rather, this report offers a marker in time and a window into some of the issues that will become increasingly important in Europe-China relationships in light of Covid-19.
