Jon Stewart’s 2-minute history lesson here is worth everyone’s time before we start confidently breaking out our theories of what happened

My first opportunity to ask Vladimir Putin a question since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It came at the end of the BRICS summit in Kazan. Producer @LizaShuvalova

"Greg Hayes, chief executive of Raytheon, said the company had 'several thousand suppliers in China and decoupling . . . is impossible.' 'We can de-risk but not decouple,' Hayes told the Financial Times in an interview, adding that he believed this to be the case 'for everybody.' 'Think about the $500bn of trade that goes from China to the US every year. More than 95 percent of rare earth materials or metals come from, or are processed in, China. There is no alternative,' said Hayes. 'If we had to pull out of China, it would take us many many years to re-establish that capability either domestically or in other friendly countries.' ft.com/content/d0b949…

Party Plenum. #China will deepen reforms. Now they won’t be about a Party retreat and opening up to free market forces, but about a spread of all-encompassing rules and regulations and mass study. It’s a neo legalistic program inspired by Mozi and Hanfeizi

Chinese commenters discuss how the bullet aimed at Trump has turned into a moment of triumph. The incident has also fueled the "Comrade Trump" meme machine. Read more about the Chinese social media reactions to the Trump rally shooting here🔗: whatsonweibo.com/a-triumph-for-…

@AGhiselliChina @RudyakMarina Indeed.

@thorstenbenner @PhilippRotmann @Int_Politik Finanzierung ist eine Sache. Wichtiger wäre über eine strategische Neu-Organisation des AA nachzudenken. Das ist aufgrund der vielen Herausforderungen überfällig;es braucht mehr in-depth Expertise, weniger Rotation;eine Preparedness-Debatte; strat. Ausrichtung der Botschaften...

Wenig Spareffekt, großer Schaden. Warum sich Deutschland mit den Plänen zur Schrumpfung der Etats für das Auswärtige Amt und das BMZ ins eigene Fleisch schneiden würde. @PhilippRotmann in @Int_Politik internationalepolitik.de/de/budget-eins…

@oertel_janka And it (again) comes from Brussels (!) which also tells us a lot abt German China policy which in many ways stays indecisive generally and also specifically …

This is a strong signal from Brussels. Also one that makes clear that transparency matters. EU is making use of the tools it has and the rules it has set.

The new 2024 Chinese Communist Party Disciplinary Regulations is a 22,000+ words long treatise. List of offenses include: "Hedonistic pursuit of pleasure, enjoy bad taste entertainment." (Article 150) (贪图享乐、追求低级趣味) Some call it a guide towards socialist sainthood/1🧵

@RnaudBertrand The argument may be more correct for steel than cars…

That's why it was a mistake to invite VDL to the meeting with Macron... x.com/apocalypseos/s… Right out of it, she did a solo press conference to peddle the brand new "overcapacity" narrative introduced by Janet Yellen, saying they'll "coordinate with the G7" (i.e. the US) to sanction China if they "don't address it"... As a reminder "overcapacity" is a buzzword for "China is becoming too competitive" so asking them to "address it" is akin to a fellow sprinter asking Usain Bolt to run less fast... But more importantly it completely undermines Macron's "strategic autonomy" narrative. It's a terrible image: in Macron's own words this was the whole point of the trip, show that France and Europe can speak to China independently with their own voice. And then they literally use American words to say they'll ally with the Americans against China. You couldn't make it up 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@jcmittelstaedt Interesting. I mean images are text !!!
