One of the foreign policy priorities of US president Joe Biden is to work with allies on China. His administration reached out to the European Union ahead of his inauguration to make US intentions clear. However, so far, they have only been met with disappointment over the alacrity with which European leaders pushed forward the agenda of the comprehensive agreement on investment before Biden was even sworn in as president. What are the prospects for transatlantic cooperation on China now that a new US administration is in power? Has it ended before it has begun, or will we see a new Western approach to dealing with China’s rising power? This week, our host Mark Leonard is joined by Janka Oertel, head of ECFR’s Asia programme and Andrew Small, senior transatlantic fellow with the Asia programme at the German Marshall Fund of the United States and associate senior policy fellow at ECFR, to discuss the future of EU-China-US relations.This podcast was recorded on 28 January 2021.Further reading:- “Europe’s China deal: How not to work with the Biden administration” by Andrew Small: https://t.co/Po017TsXRoBookshelf- “The 1000-year-old boy” by Ross Welford- “The quest for legitimacy in Chinese politics: A new interpretation” by Lanxin Xiang
