Summary:

The European Union (EU) has now become the largest trade partner of China. While the Sino-US trade relations and particularly the high-profile trade disputes between the US and China get considerable academic attention for geopolitical reasons, very few researches have been done on the Sino-EU trade disputes that gradually loom large on the horizon. This book delves into the trade disputes between China and the EU and identifies the causes for trade disputes. It examines how the disputes will shape the China-EU trade relations, and offers a macro overview on how the issues can be resolved or at least how they should be managed. This timely book sheds light on the Sino-EU trade disputes thus putting it in global perspective and enriches the literature in this regard.
