Washington’s regular tweaks will make its high-tech #exportcontrols more effective in the short term, but trickier to manage beyond that, say @ToniHDS & Wendy Chang. They discuss the long-term side-effects for #China and the US in their new comment: merics.org/en/comment/tech-c…

Sehr erfreut, die in Europa führende Denkfabrik zu China @merics_eu zu empfangen. Eine enge deutsch-französische Zusammenarbeit ist von zentraler Bedeutung für ein einheitliches europäisches Vorgehen gegenüber China.

Good to present the survey result at @merics_eu 2024 Forecast Event today and see the piece with @grzestec coming out. 2024 is a year full with elections that will shape geopolitics significantly, prudent but relatively quick actions are needed for Europe in its China policy.
MERICS Analyst @claus_soong shares insights from our survey on key developments in Europe-China relations.
You can also find a summary and the survey results on our website: merics.org/en/comment/bracin…
