From the Atlantic Council's description: China and the Indo-Pacific is a growing focus for both sides of the Atlantic, as US and European policymakers pursue different strategies for engagement in the region.
What does the role of China and a growing focus on the Indo-Pacific mean for the transatlantic relationship? As the United States balances foreign policy priorities between a long-term pivot to China while addressing the immediate need to focus on Russia, and Europe debates its role in the Indo-Pacific, how can EU and US policymakers best align their policies for the region? How can Europe more effectively counter security challenges from China, especially on the cyber and technology front?
