Europe can no longer afford to postpone the #China debate. Beijing is not just an economic challenge but a strategic one, weaponising trade, tech & dependencies. The choice is simple: act now or pay a far higher price later, warns @sbeverts. shorturl.at/Ss1mL

Europe must really confront China now: delay is no longer an option

As China exerts growing economic and strategic pressure on Europe, the EU continues to delay difficult decisions. How can Europe defend its interests against a power that increasingly uses trade

US commitment to NATO is once again under scrutiny ahead of #NATOSummit. Rather than waiting for Washington's plans, Europe should actively shape the transition towards greater responsibility for its own defence, argues @gspataf95. ➡️ shorturl.at/b19GB

New survey of European semiconductor sector paints a bleak picture. "While Beijing still appears to be the biggest threat, dependence on Washington seems to have become of much greater concern under the 2nd Trump administration", explains @joristeer. reuters.com/world/china/chin…

Chinese and US risks mean EU chip sector faces a 'bleak future,' report says

Chinese ‌export controls, dependence on the U.S. for technology and the structural weakness of Europe's domestic chip industry mean it faces a "bleak future," an EU-funded report found on Thursday.

For Europe, China is always important but never urgent. That must change. The EU needs to stop procrastinating & take actions to defend its interests against a power that increasingly weaponises trade, technology & interdependence, writes @sbeverts. ➡️ shorturl.at/Ss1mL

Commission President @vonderleyen is in #Armenia today. Following Pashinyan's re-election, the priority should be securing a lasting peace with Azerbaijan by strengthening democracy, boosting connectivity & reducing dependence on Russia, argues @oditrych. iss.europa.eu/publications/c…

Armenia’s election: A welcome win for Pashinyan, but a difficult road

Nikol Pashinyan’s election victory keeps Armenia on a pro-European course despite intense Russian pressure. Yet his failure to secure a constitutional majority leaves the peace process with Azerbaijan

As Russia's threat grows & US engagement in European security becomes less certain, the challenge is clear: Europe must build-up its own deterrence. How? ➡️ Resources. Readiness. Resolve. @LScazzieri explains

By blocking more ASML exports and chipmaking equipment from other Dutch producers, the US Congress hopes to curb China's growing global market share in legacy chips - the nervous system of the global economy. @joristeer in @Knack. knack.be/nieuws/wereld/vs-ze…

VS zetten Nederland onder druk in chipstrijd met China

De Verenigde Staten verhogen de druk op Nederland, en Den Haag kan dat maar matig appreciëren..

As @MarosSefcovic met 🇨🇳's Commerce Minister to address overcapacity, @ruehlig argues Europe must use its economic strengths to push back. Condition access to the single market on concrete concessions, such as licences for rare earth mineral imports. ow.ly/1p0650Yq7EC

China mines or refines 17 of the 34 materials classified as critical by the EU. Current diversification efforts aren't enough. Europe needs a coalition with the US, Japan & other partners to build viable supply chains outside 🇨🇳 @joristeer explains how: shorturl.at/Nears

Last week's Putin-Lukashenka meeting reinforced a clear trend: Minsk is being drawn deeper into Russia's military orbit, creating new risks for the EU & Ukraine. @oditrych on why the EU needs a different Belarus strategy. shorturl.at/H3TjX

Blunting the Belarusian blade: The growing threat Belarus poses to

As Russia tightens its grip on Belarus, the country is becoming a growing source of military pressure and intimidation against Europe. The EU must respond with a balanced strategy of pressure
