Lecture
Details
Many expect Germany, Europe’s largest economy, to “lead” Europe, while China as the world’s most populous country and its second largest economy is a natural candidate to lead Asia. What do they have in common? Where can they cooperate? Where are sources of possible conflict?
Dr. Wolfgang Röhr is Senior Research Fellow at the German Studies Center of Tongji University and former Consul General for Germany in Shanghai. He studied law in Hamburg, Tübingen and Geneva and holds a PhD in Law from Hamburg University. From 1978 to 2014, he served in the German Foreign Service, for six years in the Political Department of the Embassy in Beijing and eight years as Consul General in Shanghai. Dr. Röhr also directed the East Asia Desk at the Foreign Office and was Ambassador and Head of the Task Force China-Germany. During his work, he served at Geneva, New York, Tel Aviv, Hong Kong and Lisbon and was a member of the German Delegations at the United Nations, the Committee on Disarmament, NATO, the European Union and the Western European Union.
