The paper explores Turkey’s foreign policy towards China and other Asian countries vis-à-vis the EU. With its rapidly growing economic leverage at a global scale, China is today’s rising power in the international system and this is a fact which is by no means escaping the attention of Turkey’s policy makers. Despite occasional ups and downs between Ankara and Beijing, Turkey attaches great importance to the further development of its relations with the world’s new great power, and this study aims to contribute to these efforts by analyzing Turkey’s relationship with China and making recommendations for further improvement of its foreign policy towards this country.
