New study: How Beijing influences the Eu • Table.Briefings

Not only Europeans are voting in the upcoming European elections – so are state actors such as China.

Right-wing and left-wing fringe parties are very likely to be represented more strongly in the next EU Parliament – to the delight of Russia and China. A new study shows how Beijing influences the European elections in its favor.

The upcoming European elections will likely strengthen far-right and far-left parties. A study by the Prague-based Association for International Affairs (AMO) has analyzed how the rise of these fringe parties could steer the EU in a pro-China direction. The study, which AMO published on Tuesday, was compiled in cooperation with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation in Brussels (FNF Europe). FNF Europe will publish the study after the European elections. It has been made available to Table.Briefings in advance.
