RT @NTenzer: I hear that some are now thinking of engaging #China to contain #Russia.
It reminds me so much of those — the same ones sometimes — who not so long ago were thinking of engaging Russia to counter China.
The art of making blunders seems inexhaustible.

If the Chancellery is afraid to publish the government’s very own strategy because it fears offending the PRC nomenklatura, then what does it say about German-PRC relations and its prospects?
RT @noahbarkin: I’ve been told by numerous party & government officials over the past week that the 🇩🇪 Chancellery is reluctant to publish the new China strategy before Berlin & Beijing hold government consultations, which are tentatively planned for June. Short thread👇

Just what exactly are all these visits hoping to achieve? Xi and the CCP have not made any serious attempts to stop Russian aggression, to cease their own aggressive posturing or oppression within the PRC. Those who assume that these visits project unity and firmness are mistaken

I welcome today’s decision by @NarodnaRadaSR to strengthen cybersecurity by blocking TikTok on official devices &MPs are advised not to use it on private devices.
But, we need to go further. What is a security threat to our democratic institutions is also a threat to our society

TikTok is not just an ordinary social media platform. The control of the CCP is demonstrated once again

Absolutely agree! Shameful!
RT @bueti: There are rumours swirling around Brussels and other EU capitals that China has made an "offer" to the EU: China would lift the sanctions which it imposed on 10 Europeans and 4 entities 2 years ago, if EU would guarantee ratifying the presently shelved investment agreement (CAI).

All too right.
RT @StuartKLau: The Dutch government now ask staff to uninstall not only TikTok, but ALL Chinese apps, calling Beijing a source of an “offensive cyber program.”

The advisory also covers Russian, Iranian and N Korean apps.
