Please join the Atlantic Council’s Europe Center, Eurasia Center, and Global China Hub for a virtual conversation, “European perspectives on Russian-Chinese strategic convergence.” This public event will take place virtually on October 25, 2022 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. ET / 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. CET.
The Kremlin’s illegal war in Ukraine has left Russia isolated as most world powers have come together to rebuke Putin’s war crimes. However, China has been notably quiet: while Beijing has not openly endorsed Russia’s war, it has similarly not publicly condemned Putin’s actions. This event, which will launch a new series of programming on the topic, will seek to address the status and impact of Russian-Chinese strategic convergence on Europe and the transatlantic relationship, identifying key challenges and examining available policy tools.
The aim of this series of programming is to nurture transatlantic debate on this developing topic and examine the strategic implications of Russian-Chinese rapprochement for the transatlantic relationship and for European and American policymakers.
The series, cohosted by the Atlantic Council’s Europe Center, Eurasia Center, and Global China Hub, will fall under the Europe Center’s “Next Europe” body of work, examining the challenges and opportunities facing Europe in the medium to long-term.
This discussion will take place on Zoom and will be broadcast on YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. To receive the event information, please register using the button above. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with information on how to watch the event.
