China’s admission to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) shows the country still wants to invest in Europe, but hurdles remain that will prevent relations from flourishing.
China became the 67th member of the EBRD after the formalities were completed at a meeting between the bank’s President Suma Chakrabarti and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in Beijing on 15 January.
