#6 BOGDAN GÓRALCZYK: EU-China Geopolitics - Poland, Hungary, and 17+1

EU-China Podcast

In today’s episode, we look at Central Europe - particularly at Poland and Hungary - to explore the EU-China relations in this region. We will take a wider geostrategic perspective, which involves also the United States and Russia and naturally, we will talk about 17+1 and clashes of interests in the region. But keep listening also to learn about the perspective of the two countries which are active actors pursuing their own interests.

Our guest today is a man of many talents - Polish sinologist, who calls Hungary his second home and researches European integration. He is the Director of the Center for Europe at the University of Warsaw and a lifelong diplomat, who served as an Ambassador on multiple posts in Asia and as a chief of policy cabinet of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Author of many books and publications on the EU, China, and Hungary, he has a unique insight into Polish and Hungarian perspectives on EU-China relations and wider global power shifts. It is my great pleasure to talk to Bogdan Góralczyk.
