Switzerland was one of the first western nations to recognize the People's Republic of China, in 1950, and one of the first to reach a free trade agreement with Beijing as well, in 2013. Historian Ariane Knüsel explores the special bond between China and Switzerland in Die Schweiz und China, a book she co-authored with Ralph Weber.
Ariane spoke at an event in our Talk at the Library series. More info, and her bio, is available here.
More on the book Die Schweiz und China is available from the publisher.
Join us at the Oxford Debate LIVE, on April 7, 2025, in Zurich. The question up for debate: will innovation made in China change the world? All information on our website. Or click here to secure your tickets right away.
