It analyzes the political, cultural, and diplomatic effectiveness of Xi's efforts to expand socio-cultural ties and build new trade corridors between Europe and the Far East, and sheds light on the lasting success and influence of China-led economic programs. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the various dimensions of the BRI initiative, including the challenges and opportunities of the EU-China trade relationship, China's geopolitical interests, and foreign policy approaches. The second part analyzes BRI cooperation from the perspective of the business sector, while the third part presents case studies that examine the impacts and responses of various European countries to the BRI. 410 0$aUnderstanding China,$x2196-3142 606 $aInternational trade 606 $aAsia$xPolitics and government 606 $aInternational business enterprises 606 $aAsia$xEconomic conditions 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aInternational Trade 606 $aAsian Politics 606 $aInternational Business 606 $aAsian Economics 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aForeign Policy 615 0$aInternational trade. 615 0$aAsia$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aInternational business enterprises. 615 0$aAsia$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 14$aInternational Trade. 615 24$aAsian Politics. 615 24$aInternational Business. 615 24$aAsian Economics. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aForeign Policy. 676 $a330.951 702 $aKim$b Young-Chan 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910523775903321 996 $aChina and the Belt and Road Initiative$92591494 997 $aUNINA
