China and the EU ended 2024 in something of a tricky situation as the row over electric vehicle tariffs threatens to undo much of the good will built up by Xi Jinping’s summer trip to Europe, and visits to Beijing by a number of EU leaders over the past 12 months.

So with the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties coming up in May of 2025 just where do relations stand between two of the world’s biggest trading partners?

To find out, on this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann speaks to John Alistair Clarke, Former Director for International Affairs at the EU Commission & former head of the EU delegation to the WTO and UN, Yin Zhiguang, Professor of international politics at Fudan University and Finnish MP and former minister of Transport, Timo Harakka.
