Should—and can—the EU change its relationship with Israel?

The economic battle between Brussels and Beijing

As tensions between Brussels and Beijing escalate, the EU is stepping up efforts to tackle Chinese overcapacity and pursue a strategy of "de-risking" its economic relationship with China.

From industrial policy and economic security to Europe's competitiveness and global ambitions, the panel explores what is at stake for businesses, policymakers, and citizens across Europe.   Brussels, My Love? is Euronews' weekly podcast hosted by Méabh Mc Mahon, giving you all the context you need to make sense of the European Union (EU). From plans to transition from an economic trading bloc to a military powerhouse to bans on tofu sausages, you’ll discover how EU laws are debated and created, along with sharp analysis from some of Brussels’ brightest minds.
