EU-China summit: Access to the EU market is geopolitical capital

Sabrina Schulz is the Germany Director of the European Initiative for Energy Security (EIES), a think tank and advocacy organisation working on energy, resource and supply chain security. She is also an Associate Fellow with the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) as well as an Adjunct Professor at Hertie School.
