In this insightful and comprehensive work, Li Zhang, a Jean Monnet professor at Tsinghua University and a leading scholar on China-EU relations, presents an in-depth exploration of the narratives shaping China's image in Europe.

Drawing on a diverse set of theoretical frameworks, including strategic narratives and the rhetoric of motives, Li Zhang employs a multidimensional lens to dissect transnational European media and think tanks. Her research not only bridges cultural gaps but also paves the way for greater mutual understanding between China and Europe. With a holistic perspective and a commitment to fostering mutual trust, Zhang's work is a crucial contribution to the exploration of international relations in our ever-changing world.
