U vremenu kada čitav svet sa pažnjom prati narastanje moći Kine na međunarodnoj sceni posebnu pažnju privlače mehanizmi kojima se Peking politički i ekonomski pozicionira u geografski udaljenim delovima sveta poput Evrope. Jedan od njih je kineski model investiranja i davanja pomoći inostranstvu koji, potpuno drugačiji od Vašingtonskog modela, sve više izaziva oprečna mišljenja širom sveta.

Iako se spoljna politika Kine prema svetu dominantno rukovodi principima dobrovoljne saradnje i obostrane koristi, veliki je broj onih koji gaje podozrenje prema projektovanim kineskim motivima. Tome dodatno doprinosi asertivan spoljopolitički pristup novog kineskog rukovodstva, kojim se projektovana slika o Kini kao dobroćudnom ekonomskom džinu koji nema nikakve političke ambicije, menja u sliku o Kini kao „predatoru“ koji želi da uništi postojeći svetski poredak i da treća tržišta iskoristi za ostvarivanje projektovanih dugoročnih ciljeva.

China in Europe predstavlja veoma korisno i aktuelno štivo koje iscrpno opisuje i objašnjava sve aspekte kineske spoljne politike i njenog nastupa prema Evropi, a posebno regionu Centralne i Istočne Evrope putem mehanizma „16+1“, čiju će budućnost u velikoj meri oblikovati prisustvo najmnogoljudnije zemlje sveta. Kompletan uvid u kineske investicije i pomoć evropskim državama, koje Sanja Arežina daje u ovoj knjizi, kao i preporuke na koji način je potrebno buduće odnose oblikovati i rešiti potencijalne probleme koji mogu da ugroze projekte od zajedničkog interesa poput Inicijative „Jedan pojas, jedan put“, omogućiće čitaocima da sami prosude da li će odnos Evrope i Kine u narednim decenijama biti partnerski ili rivalski.


At the time when the world is closely watching the rise of the China`s power on international stage, the mechanisms employed by Beijing to position itself economically and politically in faraway regions attract particular attention. One of these mechanisms is the Chinese model of foreign investments and assistance which is completely different from the Washington model and is increasingly provoking controversial opinions around the world.

Although China`s foreign policy is predominantly governed by the principles of voluntary cooperation and mutual benefit, there are many of those who are suspicious of China`s publically proclaimed motives. These suspicions are bolstered by the assertive foreign policy approach taken by the new Chinese leadership, by which the projected image of China as a benevolent economic giant with no political ambition, becomes transformed into an image of China as a “predator”, intent on crushing the current world order and using third markets to achieve its projected long-term goals.

China in Europe is undoubtedly both a helpful and an up-to-date reading, with detailed descriptions and explanations of the various aspects of China`s foreign policy and its approach to Europe, particularly towards the Central and Eastern European region within “16+1” Mechanism, whose future will largely be shaped by the presence of the world’s most populous country. A comprehensive insight into Chinese investments and the assistance provided to European countries, which Sanja Arežina offers in this book, with recommendations on how to shape future relations and resolve potential problems that might jeopardize projects of both mutual and common interest, such as “One Belt, One Road”, will allow readers to assess for themselves if the Europe-China relations, or the Sino-European relations, in the coming decades, would be those of rivalry or partnership.
