Dr Andreas Fulda on How to Fight China's Sharp Power

Dr Andreas Fulda, Assistant Professor, has made a contribution to a conversation titled 'How to Fight China's Sharp Power' in the esteemed ChinaFile online magazine, published by the Center on U.S.-China Relations at Asia Society to provide and promote an informed, nuanced and vibrant public conversation about China and its relations with the U.S. and the wider world.

In his contribution, Andreas argues that 'the EU should take a more self-confident approach and make an offer to the Chinese people to forge a comprehensive dialogue across civilizations. Both European and Chinese civilizations are changing, plural, and open'; outlining that '(for) such a dialogue across civilizations to work, certain key principles would need to be adhered to: policymakers would need to have faith in people, uphold freedom of speech, accept cultural difference without questioning universal values, and tolerate intercultural ambiguity and disagreements, especially those relating to norms and values. Furthermore, professional facilitators should be employed to ensure that these key principles are put into practice.'
