Today, during the discussion “China-friendly narratives in the Baltics: how are they received by our societies?”, the Eastern Europe Studies Centre (EESC) presented the study “Classic Cleavages in a New Light: Chinese Informational Influence in the Baltics”, prepared in cooperation with the Latvian Institute of International Affairs (LIIA) and the International Centre for Defence and Security (ICDS). The study measured the Baltic countries’ susceptibility/resilience against Chinese narratives from three different perspectives: socio-economic, international politics, and values.
The study was presented by its co-authors – Simona Merkinaitė, Chief Project Manager at the EESC, Tomas Jermalavičius, Head of Studies at ICDS, and Dr. Konstantinas Andrijauskas, Associate Expert at the EESC.
