European Hub for Contemporary China
About us
China is a key global actor and a leading economic and technological power. China’s increasing relevance in the geopolitical system, its various specificities, complexities and goals as well as its rapid evolution and new policy directions pose challenge to the EU’s capacity to better understand contemporary China. Furthermore, the European Union needs to get to know and understand China on its own terms: not through the lens of other external sources but from its own European perspective. However, the European level expertise on contemporary China is often fragmented and difficult to access. To overcome this challenge, it is essential to connect established and emerging knowledge nodes as well as gathering, categorising, and mainstreaming their work on a publicly accessible platform. This approach will break down siloes and provide policy-makers, researchers, businesses, and civil society with the necessary knowledge to develop a comprehensive understanding of the various aspects that define contemporary China. Such an approach will also enhance the dissemination of information and facilitate the generation of new knowledge. In this regard, EuroHub4Sino project is built upon four interconnected and interdependent pillars that foresees (a) to develop a state- of-the-art digital platform which was absent in previous projects/initiatives as they had to rely on their own resources in their research/cooperation efforts. This platform will also better serve the wider civil society in mainstreaming independent European knowledge. An inclusive and diverse (b) network will make the most of the digital platform in its (c) collaborative research and communication activities. EuroHub4Sino has (d) developed an innovative and sustainable business model with an aim that this inclusive network and enhanced digital platform will continue working following the end of the project.

🌍✨ 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗘𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲: 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮’𝘀 𝗥𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗮𝗻 ✨🌍 In a bold response to U.S. tech restrictions, China has banned the export of key rare minerals—gallium, germanium, and antimony—integral to high-tech and military applications. 💻🔬⚙️ 📅 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: December 3, 2024: China announces the ban, citing national security concerns. Impact: Prices for these minerals have skyrocketed—antimony up 228% this year alone. Why It Matters: China controls 98.8% of the global gallium supply, leaving U.S. industries scrambling to find alternatives. 🤖 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: This move is a strategic countermeasure in the ongoing U.S.-China tech war, with ripple effects across global supply chains. Could this mark a turning point in how the world sources critical materials? 🌐 💡 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆: Diversifying supply chains and boosting domestic production are more urgent than ever. How will this reshape the global tech race? 📊 Check out our infographic for an in-depth breakdown of the issue! #China #USTradeTensions #RareMinerals #TechWar #Geopolitics #SupplyChain #Innovation #EH4S

She raised concerns over Chinese-made drones allegedly aiding Russia and North Korean involvement, warning such actions could damage EU-China relations. China denied military support for Russia, reaffirmed neutrality, and criticized "baseless accusations."

🌏 𝗧𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗦𝗲𝗮 🌊 The South China Sea, one of the world’s most contested regions, witnesses a new flashpoint between China and the Philippines. 🔴 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱? China’s Coast Guard accused Philippine vessels of “illegal gathering” near Iroquois Reef, asserting sovereignty over the area. The Philippines reported harassment by a Chinese PLA Navy helicopter flying dangerously low over its fishing vessels. 🔎 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲: This isn’t just a local dispute—it’s a collision of strategic ambitions and international law: China insists on its sweeping claims over the South China Sea, defying a 2016 tribunal ruling that invalidated them. The Philippines, backed by its U.S. alliance, asserts its sovereign rights and maritime security. 🌍 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: The South China Sea is vital for global trade, hosting 30% of global shipping traffic. Rising tensions risk further destabilizing the region, with potential implications for freedom of navigation, regional security, and international norms. 🔗 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀? Will diplomacy temper this confrontation, or are we witnessing the prelude to greater instability? 📣 Let us know your thoughts on this critical issue and follow for updates! #SouthChinaSea #Geopolitics #China #Philippines #MaritimeSecurity #AsiaPacific #EH4S
