| Summary/Abstract |
China-Europe relations have intensified in recent decades, but there are still some awkward elements impeding the progress of bilateral relations.Tensions came to a headwith the international reaction to the suppression of protests in Tibet in March 2008, through which China's misperception of Europe appears to have deepened. In order to uncover the root cause of this misperception, the present article adopts a historical and psychological approach in analyzing China's views of Europe. The author argues that historical trauma and psychological causes are the main underlying reasons for the divergence between China and Europe.
