It is time for Europe to build a true European Defence Union ↓

Choices are the hinges of destiny.

Let us make the choice of strength, of leadership and of Europe.

Honoured to be nominated as the candidate for High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. Your trust means a lot.

We must continue working together to ensure Europe is an effective global partner to keep our citizens free, safe and prosperous.

Good and frank discussion with Premier Li.

We need to move to action on rebalancing our trade and avoid distortive policies.

EU companies deserve a real level playing field.

And let’s keep building trust with growing cooperation in climate and people-to-people exchanges.

Thrilled to announce that I will start a secondment to the @EU_Commission this week as a China fellow at IDEA, the advisory hub that reports to @vonderleyen. I'll be on a six-month leave from my position as Senior Advisor on Global China at the @SweMFA.

100 incidents of Chinese nationals “gate-crashing” US military bases over several years seems a bit less ominous when you get to the part about 10,000 people who aren’t supposed to be there being turned away from US bases EVERY DAY.

China’s MOFA sends a letter to all foreign consulates reminding them that detained dual nationals are not allowed consular visits. The letter was sent after UK Foreign Minister raised British national Jimmy Lai’s case with China’s VP Han Zheng in May.

我们不会忘记。我们永志不忘那些铭记历史的人们。

Two days at Stockholm China Forum #SCF27 have ended. The speech by @SwedishPM 🇸🇪 made some waves with official comment by 🇨🇳. But one distinct impression is that there is an Atlantic echo chamber and a 🇨🇳 one with a lack of dialogue after years of pandemic isolation. @gmfus

Wuttke: "We are possibly facing a ‘plateau China’ with little upside happening for the next 10 or 20 years. When it comes to economic growth rates, we have to say goodbye eventually to the 4% to 5% scenarios and settle more for 2% to 3%." https://t.co/fNGdsMxCXG via @bpolitics

A list of XJP’s goals for his Moscow visit:
1) show the Chinese people that he is a global statesman,
2) show the US that China will do whatever it wants,
3) show Putin who is the big boss,
4) don’t piss off the Europeans too much,
5) demonstrate multipolarity to the Global South

So what does Xi Jinping really mean when he says that China will help "making the garden of world civilizations more vibrant"? （让世界文明百花园姹紫嫣红）
