US export control policies use economic interdependence to acheive strategic objectives. By blocking China’s access to critical technologies, these policies reinforce US leadership but risk leading to geoeconomic fragmentation in trade & investment. www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Since the 2000s, PRC resilience has been bolstered through the expansion of welfare programs and improvements in efficiency. Challenges will emerge if welfare provision is no longer guaranteed for poor or economic stagnation seriously weakens the state. www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...

Despite Russia’s growing dependence on China, Russian officials continue refuse to copy Chinese normative initiatives and instead produce own competitive one. Before Ukraine war, Russian elites tended to look down on China. Now, they portray China more positively. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

As JD Vance and Keith Kellogg have been trashing the transatlantic relationship, China has been making hay. Bilateral meetings and smiley photo ops at Munich with France, Germany (Scholz, Baerbock and Merz), Nato, Israel, Argentina, Spain, EU (Kallas)

That famously green company Shell has put out its new energy scenarios and, boy, they are worth your time. Here's a thread 🧵 By 2100, in the worst-case scenario, the oil company sees global warming peaking at 2.2C. In the most ambitious, it comes back down to 1.3C. www.shell.com/news-and-ins...

China's response to Trump's tariffs has been remarkably muted • Beijing's retaliatory tariffs will target only around US$14bn in Chinese imports from the US • China's careful response highlights how Beijing has a lot to lose from entering into unpredictable tit-for-tat trade war with US

One day, because people cannot accept to be the baddies, many will talk about foreign/Russian/Chinese interference in the 2024 American elections. But no, he said what he would do, with and to whom, and (most of) you voted for him.

Trump really knew how to get his humiliating surrender on tariffs out of the news cycle. Just announce an invasion of the Middle East. MAGA!

The Trump administration has paused tariffs on Mexico and Canada but the case of tariffs on China could be a very different story. Cf. our paper below on why.

Trump made threats, Canada and Mexico gave nothing new bar some window-dressing for existing settings, and Trump backed down. Beijing and Moscow will have taken notes and none of this bodes well.

OpenAi’s new Deep search. You pay USD200/month for something that still hallucinates. Plus, it does research on open source only and natural takes no responsibility for mistakes. It sounds like an AI version of a student writing an essay…nothing that anyone with anything at stake would rely on.

So good to see @jonhenley.bsky.social draw upon academic research by experts like @tabouchadi.bsky.social & @sldelange.bsky.social rather than simply repeat "the narrative" of most legacy media. Must read for "mainstream right" politicians.
