Summary/Abstract: China’s importance in the international arena is increasing, also including in the European region. In recent times there has particularly been an attempt to intensify relations in the context of the Belt and Road Initiative and in the case of Central and Eastern Europe, also through the creation of the 16 + 1 format. Two countries with connections to these initiatives are Romania and Moldova, the former being a European Union Member State and the latter a country with an Association Agreement with the European Union. Romania historically has strong ties to China, going back to the Cold War period, while Moldova now appears to have the potential be able to play the role of an important partner for China in Eastern Europe.
