Building on the conceptual framework of this volume, this chapter focuses on Sino-Greek relations by examining the extent to which China’s influence has given rise to the formation of new preferences or the consolidation of existing preferences within Greece. In doing so, this chapter highlights the role of domestic actors and domestic political considerations. It also suggests that we need to take into account the wider systemic context and its impact on the ways in which Athens attempts to manage Beijing’s influence, which involves moving beyond an analysis that centres merely on the dyadic relationship. Striking as the strengthening of Sino-Greek relations has been, this chapter argues that there are significant constraints on the nature of this bilateral relationship, as well as on the options available to Chinese and Greek policymakers that are becoming clearer as a result of international imperatives.
