💬 @ruehlig.bsky.social tells @apnews.com that Trump's Greenland ambitions and China's October 2025 rare earth export controls "have substantially contributed to a European understanding that we face two major powers that are not shy to bully the EU". apnews.com/article/chin...

DeepSeek R1's efficiency & its disruption of US tech dominance paved the way for a pluralisation of AI development. @clotildebomont.bsky.social & @ruehlig.bsky.social argue that for the EU, this will either be a security risk if ignored, or a strategic opportunity. www.iss.europa.eu/publications...

🇪🇺-🇨🇳 leaders often adopt maximalist positions and end up concluding agreements in not-so-key areas, says @ruehlig.bsky.social to @sz-dossier.de‬. To achieve progress in strategically important issues, the EU must set clear minimum conditions for deeper cooperation. www.sz-dossier.de/tiefgaenge/c...

Quote: China emerged from the negotiations with the US in a strong position and therefore showed significantly less willingness to compromise with Brussels in Beijing [during last week's EU-China Summit]. — Tim Rühlig in Süddeutsche Zeitung

What to make of the hype around Chinese AI start-up #DeepSeek? Double have been raised of the technological revolution it represents. But its political impact is enormous, I argue with @clotildebomont.bsky.social in our new piece 👇👇👇

Quick take on EU-China (or China-EU) climate joint statement: We'll do more of the same and we'll commit to make some commitments later. vs. last joint statement back in 2021 - in which China stated that it was going to 'strictly control coal consumption (it didn't)

🇨🇳 #China may be realising that, despite transatlantic tensions, the core differences between European and Chinese interests remain unchanged, writes @ruehlig.bsky.social. Today's tense kick-off to the #EUChinaSummit is a clear reflection of this reality. www.iss.europa.eu/publications...

Beijing sees Brussels as a serious partner partly due to its reliance on 🇪🇺 in areas like aviation and nuclear energy.

The Kremlin says it will halt attacks on energy infrastructure for 30 days. This may be good but remember: under international law this should have never happened. It’s hard to consider Putin agreeing to comply with one Provision of international law a serious achievement of diplomacy.
