China lead @InstituteGC. Aspiring fire warden. All views my own.

Maybe my least controversial China take ever: the UK urgently needs to understand China better.

As the UK's China audit kicks off, our new @InstituteGC paper looks at three big things that could set up the UK's China capabilities for long-term success🧵https://t.co/wLYWEcmjRj

@guardian And great to see Bloomberg pick up on our @InstituteGC preview of China's new Five-Year Plan - in particular why "anti-involution" efforts don't mean China is giving up on its push for green tech dominance. https://t.co/HZYyfptQO3

China's unusually busy Two Sessions kicks off today. Great to speak to @guardian on why innovation, not consumption, will be the big theme of the next five years.

As Starmer touches down in China, I spoke with @Reuters about what might be on the table for our first PM visit to the country in nearly eight years https://t.co/HfOoy6chtY

Real change demands disruptive ideas and bold delivery to unite a divided electorate.

We’ve been live at #Lab25 convening leaders, thinkers and reformers to chart a path from decline to transformation.

We're bang in the middle of global upheaval that's sweeping all before it. This could include EU-China relations

We're waiting for the *actual* change, but there's been lots of noise, so here's a long thread on what's happened this year and where we may go

Anatomy of a detente?

[Ruby Osman @rubyosman_]

China won’t namecheck the US directly, but US unpredictability is quietly shaping decisions in Beijing.

Great to speak to @thetimes about how self-reliance is the overriding theme in 🇨🇳’s new 2025 agenda.

Watching 🇨🇳’s all-important Two Sessions? We trawled through hundreds of pages of provincial work reports so you don’t have to!

Some key takeaways below for @InstituteGC on what might be on the table and how Beijing might navigate US unpredictability https://t.co/Kr2Y4Lyo4U

Tensions with 🇺🇸 makes making friends - and deepening supply chain integration - elsewhere more important than ever.

The Two Sessions will give a sense of how far Beijing will go to build an image of itself as an advocate of open trade

4. Domestic resilience building is key, but there’s still a role for the rest of the world.

Mentions of “high-level opening up” have doubled and “Global South” markets were mentioned for the first time.
