I remember writing about this for Heard on the Street and @nixonsimon.bsky.social at @wsj.com. One of the few times we argued for a deal to happen even though the financial value was dubious. Big error by Merkel.

We often feed off scraps when trying to parse the dry-as-a-bone Chinese MFA readouts But this from the Wang-Kallas meeting yesterday is super interesting "China supports all efforts conducive to peace and supports Europe's important role in the peace talks process."

More DOGE effects: funding has been cut to the National Endowment for Democracy, leaving several organisations that research and report on China in the lurch. A likely beneficiary: the CCP, as @eliotchen.bsky.social reports for @thewirechina.bsky.social www.thewirechina.com/2025/02/12/d...

Very sad. And infuriating that the proposal for a Webb Centre for Public Transparency to be hosted by HKU was rejected by the university's senior management, despite donors standing ready to fund its endowment.
