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.

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) The 2nd edition of the #DecodingChina Dictionary offers some hints: decodingchina.eu/nation/
So you're read #China's Global Development Initiative and Global Security Initiative, and you're hungry for more? Here comes China's Global Civilization Initiative (全球文明倡议): tolerance, coexistence, exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations 1/2 @GeringTuvia

‘A face issue’: China likely to retaliate against more countries over Covid-19 travel curbs - by @kawalaxl @SCMPNews
“There is a considerable difference in China’s tolerance for [the actions of] different countries – CN will only take countermeasures against the US when it does extremely bad things, but will target Korea when it only does a little" - Shi Yinhong on China's visa ban for Koreans

The ‘incident’ in #Arunachal’s #TawangSector is not a ‘mere small kind of skirmish’ as the #Chinese side is attempting to portray. #Beijing is forcing its way militarily into borders with #India (earlier #Ladakh, now #Tawang) in the name of “correcting a historical mistake”.

很高興有機會與蔡英文總統交換關於當今全球問題的意見並討論國際社會和台灣交流的重要性。
Enjoyed meeting with leaders from the German Marshall Fund @GMFUS earlier today. I trust our discussions will help advance cooperation between #Taiwan & our transatlantic partners to strengthen our collective security.

Xi according to Chinese readout: China supports and expects RU-UA peace talks to resume, and hopes that US/NATO/EU will launch a comprehensive dialogue with Russia. *No mention of nuclear arms* 中方 ... 支持并期待俄乌双方恢复和谈,同时希望美国、北约、欧盟同俄罗斯开展全面对话。
