Today I met @m_huotari, director of Germany’s leading think tank on #China @merics_eu. We need to boost German and European expertise on 🇨🇳, and Merics is one of our prime partners to do that!

“Europe’s China watchers eye sanctions and supply-chain diversification” - short analysis based on the results of our annual survey forecasting EU-China relations in 2021 https://t.co/4CoLQGqKkL

[MERICS @merics_eu]

.@lucrepogge is currently presenting the findings from of our annual survey on #China and #EU-China relations (among 170 European China experts and ~1,000 respondents from the wider intl. public). You can read her analysis at https://t.co/gITO2Nsqi3

Partly state-owned @deutschetelekom will get mobile provider license in China. In return, Germany opens market to China Mobile. This is what anonymous EU sources claim is Merkel-Xi CAI side deal.
Would be side deal from hell, exposing German critical infrastructure even further.

🇮🇹&🇨🇳 agreed to support each other’s hosting of 2022&2026 Winter Olympics. “The show of solidarity from Rome will be welcomed by CN in the wake of calls from some European politicians for a boycott of the 2022 Games in protest against Beijing’s hardline policies in Xinjiang & HK”

[Ludovica Meacci @ludovicameacci]

"After a “special year” in China-Italy relations, the two countries have agreed to boost cooperation in a host of fields, from space exploration to the Winter Olympics, according to a joint statement published on Wednesday by Beijing" https://t.co/WtbVwWDBZw

Also some self-reflection by Scalfarotto on how the 2019 BRI MoU still taints Rome’s credibility to partners’ eyes, preventing Italy from playing a bigger role in CAI negotiations. He says the MoU “didn’t help our trade relations and made us pay a political cost”. 3/3

[Lucrezia Poggetti @lucrepogge]

Rome is unhappy about Macron joining the meeting with Xi to conclude CAI negotiations along with the EU leadership. See here (Conte) https://t.co/IJaB0dJQFS and here (Scalfarotto) https://t.co/3nR3tybYx3 1/3

[Lucrezia Poggetti @lucrepogge]

They don’t think the reasoning offered by DE and FR (that Macron should be there because 1) Merkel wanted to reciprocate Macron’s 2019 invitation to Paris; 2) France will take on the EU presidency in 2022) justifies his participation. 2/3

“[Disinformation] now spreads faster than ever, reaching citizens in their homes every day. Some state actors, like Russia and China, are actively involved in these activities, trying to undermine and delegitimise our democratic systems and the values of freedom [and] pluralism.”

Il punto su ciò che non va dell’imminente accordo Europa-Cina con @giulianopisapia.

Affrettare un accordo e non «cogliere la mano che ci viene tesa dall’altra sponda dell’Atlantico» potrebbe essere un grosso errore per l’Ue. @luciump su @europea_lk

Italian public opinion on #China is riddled with contradictions. The Italians are longing for economic engagement with 🇨🇳 while at the same time being distrusting of it. Find our more about perception of 🇨🇳 in #Italy 🇮🇹 in our new report.
