Summary:[...] in terms of Chinese politics and China-EU relations, the role of Chinese discursive narratives, identity-constructions and symbolic landscapes in building political meanings, legitimacy, national prestige, patriotic sentiment and international relations must not be underrated. Furthermore, we both conclude and predict that one of the main directions a future EU-China research-agenda will take is a social-constructivistinformed approach, to international relations in general, and to the educational, intellectual and ideational dimensions of Asia-Europe relations in particular. [...] a more comprehensive future research programme on China-EU interaction, could - and ought to - extend to key themes like political strategy and 'declaratory diplomacy', 'identity' and 'text', linguistics and 'meaning', seeking to employ, where relevant, some of the tools of disciplines such as discourse-analysis.
