In this special seminar, Dr Alicia García Herrero will discuss how the war will impact China’s economy, what the economic policy reactions of China’s authorities are likely to be, how China-Russia ties will develop in the short and medium run, and what the consequences for China’s economic relations with the rest of the world are likely to be.
