For how long will some pretend, like was the case with Nord Stream 2, that this is purely ‘economical’ and not a ‘political’ issue?
What will it take for some CEOs to understand that they are compromising their businesses and our security?

RT @DCTwining: Sticking up for #Taiwan protects:

1) the future of political freedom in the world;

2) the global balance of power;

3) the world economy.

Together they amount to a compelling case to keep Taiwan out of Beijing’s clutches. ⁦@gideonrachman⁩ https://www.ft.com/content/11b82a88-57ae-44b1-8368-864f42ffac7f?shareType=nongift

Irrespective of whether Macron went along with CCP propaganda because of his vanity or for domestic political reasons, these images are both disturbing and deeply damaging. It is an affront to all those countless people living under CCP’s daily terror

It is perhaps finally dawning on the EC that today the PRC plays a destructive, at best non-constructive, role in most sectoral & geopolitical issues.
That’s why the key to de-risking is seeing the PRC for what it is, and not for what we wish it to be.
