China shock 2.0: What is it and what can Europe do about it?

17 July 2026 – 11.00am BST (London)
online

The China shock 2.0 is placing increasing pressure on the European economy as a wave of Chinese exports threatens to hollow out key industrial sectors. In response, European governments are adopting a more defensive stance to protect strategic industries and safeguard the continent’s industrial base.

In this webinar, we will examine the forces driving this new shock, assess its impact on Europe, and discuss the policy options available to policymakers, including the latest developments.

This webinar is being held on our new platform, ON24. If you do not receive your confirmation email, please check your junk and spam folders.
