Le document 'Connecting Europe and Asia – Building blocks for an EU Strategy' de 2018, adopté par les États membres de l'UE, a défini sa stratégie globale concernant la relation Europe-Asie. Il reste à savoir comment cet important document a été reçu et interprété en Chine. À partir de notre enquête et de notre analyse, cet article soutient que, bien que les informations aient été communiquées par le biais de plateformes officielles (la macro-information) en Chine, les discussions nécessaires (la micropénétration) entre les universitaires et les jeunes se sont avérées insuffisantes. Il est donc essentiel que l'UE et la Chine coopèrent, améliorent leur communication et encouragent une réflexion approfondie sur ce sujet, en favorisant la compréhension mutuelle entre les jeunes de l'UE et de la Chine. Cela peut se faire en exploitant leurs nouvelles plateformes préférées.

The European Commission celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Jean Monnet Activities in 2019. Thus, it is the optimal time to review the impact of Jean Monnet activities on external perception on the EU and its integration. The article, with its focus on Chinese youth's perception, has employed comparative analysis of 5446 effective samples of the Survey on 'How Chinese College Students Perceive the EU', which was conducted among twenty-three universities around the country during the 2016-2017 academic year. The article concludes that firstly, Chinese college students mainly take in information in a more passive fashion and their opinions on foreign affairs including EUrelated issues are overwhelmingly influenced by domestic macro-media reports or education; secondly, while students from universities with and without JMPs (Jean Monnet Projects) hold less divergent views on the general information about the EU and international relations in a wider sense, those respondents from universities with JMPs do perform better when it comes to EU-specific knowledge, such as the number of EU Member States, its motto and its institutional composition; thirdly, the comparative study on universities with and without JMPs has demonstrated that JMPs have produced some influence, but the impact is particularly limited, which is woefully insufficient to shape the general perception of Chinese college students on EU-related issues; and finally, Chinese college students come to be rather conservative regarding the items that imply a certain sense of politics, and this type of conservative tone, along with certain sort of nationalist sentiment, is deeply ingrained. The article ends with some policy recommendations.
