Abstract

This chapter looks at relations between the European Union (EU), Russia and China - framed in terms of both trade and security. The relationship between China and the EU is explored in terms of the mutual commercial interests developed over a number of years. This is all in marked contrast to the EU’s relations with Russia. Europe has been dominated by Russia’s occupation of Crimea – for which the EU maintains a policy of economic sanctions – also Russia’s part in fuelling the crisis in Ukraine, and its military sabre rattling alarming the EU ‘Visegrad’ and Baltic States
