Jeopolitik İp Cambazlığı: Değişen Dünya Düzeninde Çin-AB İlişkilerinin Karmaşık Dinamikleri

Öz

Son yıllarda, Avrupa Birliği'nin (AB) Çin'e karşı tutumu ve politikalarında belirgin bir değişim yaşandı. Bu değişim, İnsan hakları kavramın farklı yorumlanması, Ukrayna ile Rusya arasındaki çatışma ve ABD ile Çin arasındaki gerginlik gibi krizlerin etkisiyle tetiklendi. Aynı zamanda, birçok Avrupa Birliği (AB) ülkesi, Çin'in Kuşak ve Yol Girişimi'ne (BRI) ulusal çıkarlarına potansiyel bir tehdit olarak görmekte ve buna karşı kuşkucu bir tutum sergilemektedir. ABD ve Çin arasında bir çatışma durumunda AB'nin kendini ABD ile uyumlu hale getirmeye eğilimli olduğu belirtilmektedir. Ekonomik gücüne rağmen, AB, kolektif bir yapı olarak, Çin ile ilişkileri ele alırken stratejik olarak sınırlı olarak görülmektedir ve genellikle teknoloji ve ticari kısıtlamalara başvurmaktadır. AB, ekonomik gücünü kullanırken stratejik kısıtlarını tanıyan ve Çin ile olan karmaşık ilişkiyi ele alırken dikkatli bir çizgi izleyen bir konumda bulunmaktadır. Bu gelişmeler ışığında, bu makale, doğal olarak istikrarsız bir ortaklık olan Çin-AB ilişkilerinin evrilen dinamiklerini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Navigating the Geopolitical Tightrope: The Complex Dynamics of Sino-EU Relations in a Shifting World Order

Abstract

In recent years, a discernible shift has occurred in the European Union's (EU) stance and policies towards China, prompted by a confluence of crises including different interpretation of human rights concept, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia as well as Sino-US tensions. Meanwhile, many European Union (EU) countries express skepticism about China's Belt and Road Initiative (the BRI), perceiving it as a potential threat to their national interests. In the event of a confrontation between the US and China, the EU is gradually inclined to align itself with the US. Despite its economic prowess, the EU, as a collective entity, is viewed as strategically limited when dealing with China, resorting mainly to technology and commercial restrictions. The EU finds itself walking a delicate line, leveraging its economic strength yet recognizing its strategic constraints in addressing the multifaceted relationship with China. In light of these developments, this article seeks to analyze the evolving dynamics of Sino-EU relations, leading to an inherently unstable partnership.
