I have a piece up with @gmfus on why this week's "low outcome" EU-China summit is a success for Europe (that won't feel like one): gmfus.org/news/just-showing

A few quick thoughts on how China is likely to deal with the current situation in South Asia (since I am getting some questions along the lines of: "is the Chinese approach still the same as the one laid out in your book?" which is now more than ten years old...) 1/10

China won't want significant escalation (few do) but I suspect won’t mind the chance to test Chinese against Western weapons on India's side. I doubt Beijing will see the Indian strikes as excessively escalatory. A kind of re-run of 2019 would IMO be fine from China’s perspective

The @EU_Commission will challenge at @wto the announced imposition of provisional antidumping measures by China on imports of brandy from EU.
We believe that these measures are unfounded, and we are determined to defend EU industry against abuse of trade defence instruments.

Breaking: EU countries approve duties (up to 35 percent) on unfairly subsidized Chinese electric cars, despite Germany's last-minute opposition.
10 countries voted for the duties, 5 against, 12 abstained (counts as a yes).

Just putting⬇️ up again as news breaks that the German chancellor wants to overrule coalition partners & vote „no“ although there is apparently no qualified majority against the tariffs…highly troubling signal towards Brussels and Washington alike…to say the least…
EU member states should endorse tariffs on Chinese EVs or risk undermining European interests and agency dlvr.it/TDx8tt
