SUMMARY:China: A Common Transatlantic Challenge

However\, the United States and Europe have shared interests when it comes to developing an approach to China and this realization may now gain traction through a new initiative\, the EU-US Dialogue on China agreed to by Secretary Pompeo and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell. Has the moment for transatlantic collaboration on China arrived? What are the opportunities and challenges for greater cooperation amongst allies across the Atlantic? \nThe American Council on Germany and the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society are partnering to host an online conversations about the United States\, Europe\, and China.
