Summary/Abstract: This report examines international strategic alliances (ISA) between the European Union (EU) and China, highlighting the economic, political, and regulatory challenges inherent in these relation- ships. While partnerships in sectors such as technology, green energy, and the automotive industry provide substantial economic benefits, tensions between the EU and China continue to grow due to differing policies and approaches to free trade and security. The report explores the limitations of these alliances and the potential risks posed by the political and economic imbalance resulting from China's state subsidies and market control. The future of ISAs is expected to hinge on the EU's ability to balance its economic interests with the political demands of its Western allies and the push for greater autonomy.
