The US presented Wang Yi with the best possible Munich weekend he could have imagined. 🇨🇳delegation must have truly had fun.

Most interesting readout of the whole weekend in Munich. Head of Zelensky's office following meeting with Wang Yi - hugely positive statement
- "China has a crucial role to play in achieving peace"
- Wang said UKR and EU must be part of negotiations
- "intensification" of UKR-CN political dialogue

Now I don’t think this will deliver.
But US officials who think “We can increase pain. Europeans will just eat this & not try to turn on us” shouldn’t be too sure of their game in long run.
Out of interest,.why don't you view closer Europe/China ties as substantive?
My take is that Europe has an energy problem. China is building the energy grid for the next century and can help us solve it.
Amongst other tech.
