Description: Denmark’s relations with China go back to 1674, and the first thorough Danish description of the country was published in Aarhus in 1641, based on secondary sources. For the present analysis, we limit ourselves to the turbulent period since the founding of the People’s Republic in October 1949. How can we explain the broader shifts over time in Danish-Chinese relations, which are generally characterized by continuity? How can we explain the momentary crises in relations that have appeared fitfully in recent decades?
