Chinese leaders believe overcapacity across industries including automotive is a cyclical problem that fresh growth will solve. Foreign investors with experience in the PRC see things differently. To them, overcapacity is a direct result of China's planned economy. Not only does massive overcapacity spark price wars inside China, it also threatens to spur an avalanche of exports into markets worldwide, undermining industries and killing jobs. Joerg Wuttke led the China operations of BASF, the German chemical giant for 27 years. Mr Wuttke  knows China like few people on the planet. In the summer of 2024, he became a partner at the Albright Stonebridge Group based in Washington DC. Mr Wuttke is considered one of the world's leading experts on Europe-China trade and investments. Today, we talk about what Mr Wuttke calls China's "breaking point" when it comes to overcapacity. How soon will it arrive? What will it look like?

The EU will slap its new tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China for the next five years, but Beijing has been slammed the duties, filing an action with the WTO and launching anti-dumping investigations into European exports of brandy, pork and dairy products.Is this tug of war going to evolve into a full-fledge trade war? Could these tariffs slow down the energy transition and lead to fewer people buying EVs when combustion engines are supposed to be banned in 2035? If Donald Trump wins the US presidency next week, will that push the EU into a more conciliatory position with China? Today Radio Schuman answers these questions with Noah Barkin, a Senior Advisor with the independent research provider Rhodium Group which specialises on Europe-China relations.We also take a quick look at the Eurasian security conference in Belarus, where an EU member state minister will attend and speak.

Tensions are running high at the Paris Motor Show. The industry is struggling with weak demand as European automakers aim to defend their position in the market. The EU is gearing up to impose hefty import tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, as the rival automakers attempt to get a foothold in the competitive market. France Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that the Chinese Government subsidises their EV industry, so this is the Europeans attempting to even the playing field. She says that there are warnings the tariff could result in Chinese companies setting up plants in Europe, which could lead to local manufacturers getting forced out of the business entirely.

What is Israel's Next Big Move? | Iran - Israel - Europe & China | US Polls | Gen Rajiv Narayanan

There has been a significant transformation in Europe-China relations over the past decade, with a shift from economic optimism to cautious de-risking. While Europe has sought partnerships with China, particularly in industrial and technological sectors, there are increasing concerns about economic dependencies that may be leveraged by Beijing for political gain. The Russia-Ukraine war has further complicated the dynamic, as China's support for Russia has created divisions within Europe regarding how to engage with China moving forward.In this episode, Janka Oertel explains the key drivers behind Europe's changing relationship with China and the ongoing debates in European policy circles about how to reduce dependencies on Chinese goods, technology, and investments without completely decoupling. She emphasizes that de-risking is not a simple, one-size-fits-all strategy but rather a complex process that varies across European countries and industries.The episode also discusses how China has sought to deepen relationships with countries in Eastern Europe and the Western Balkans, providing investments through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to gain access to EU markets. Oertel notes that while some EU countries have welcomed Chinese investments, others are growing increasingly wary of Beijing's intentions.The conversation touches on how Europe is looking to collaborate with India and the Global South as part of its broader strategy to diversify partnerships and reduce its reliance on China. The discussion highlights the importance of political will on both sides to make the EU-India relationship a cornerstone of future European foreign policy.Episode Contributors:Janka Oertel is the Director of the Asia Program at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR). Her research focuses on EU-China relations, US-China relations, Asia-Pacific security, and emerging technologies. She is the author of "End of the China Illusion: How We Must Deal with Beijing's Claim to Power."Shibani Mehta is a senior research analyst with the Security Studies Program at Carnegie India. Her research focuses on the India-China boundary dispute with the purpose of analyzing India's foreign and security policy decision-making. She also writes extensively on South Asian regional dynamics and minilaterals in the Indo-Pacific.Additional Readings:The End of Germany's China illusion With Janka Oertel by Janka OertelEU-China Relations: De-Risking or De-Coupling—the Future of the EU Strategy Towards China: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2024/754446/EXPO_STU(2024)754446_EN.pdfEuropean Commission's 2019 Strategic Outlook on China: https://commission.europa.eu/system/files/2019-03/communication-eu-china-a-strategic-outlook.pdf"China's New International Paradigm: Security First" by Helena Legarda: https://merics.org/en/chinas-new-international-paradigm-security-first"This isn't a new weapon, it is a new world"—three things Oppenheimer tells us about tech. https://www.ias.edu/news/video-2024-public-policy-lecture Every two weeks, Interpreting India brings you diverse voices from India and around the world to explore the critical questions shaping the nation's future.

In this episode of the Vienna Coffee House Conversations, host Ivan Vejvoda is joined by Sławomir Sierakowski, a distinguished Polish sociologist, public intellectual, and founder of Kritika Polityczna. Together, they explore the current state of democracy in Europe amidst rising authoritarianism and populism. Sierakowski provides his insights on the recent European elections, Poland's return to democratic norms, and the implications of the Russo-Ukrainian War on European security and global politics.The conversation shifts towards the geopolitical dynamics in Asia, where Sierakowski discusses the weakening position of China under Xi Jinping, the challenges facing Taiwan, and the broader impact of Asian geopolitics on global security. He highlights the importance of Europe asserting itself more strongly on the global stage, particularly in response to both internal challenges like Hungary's populist leadership and external threats from authoritarian regimes.Sierakowski also shares his thoughts on the future of the European Union's enlargement, emphasizing the urgency of integrating Ukraine and other candidate countries into the EU. He argues for a more forceful European stance against Russian aggression, drawing parallels to historical appeasement policies that led to global conflict. The discussion concludes with a reflection on the growing uncertainty in global politics and the need for Europe to address these challenges decisively.Sławomir Sierakowski is a prominent Polish sociologist, public intellectual, and the founder of Kritika Polityczna. He is also a senior fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations and the president of the program board  of ImpactCEE.Read more from Kritika Polityczna @ krytykapolityczna.pl/Recent articles from Slawomir are listed @ German Council on Foreign Relations   Ivan Vejvoda is Head of the Europe's Futures program at IWM implemented in partnership with ERSTE Foundation.

Founded as a place of encounter in 1982 by a young Polish philosopher, Krzysztof Michalski, and two German colleagues in neutral Austria, its initial mission was to create a meeting place for dissenting thinkers of Eastern Europe and prominent scholars from the West.Since then it has promoted intellectual exchange across disciplines, between academia and society, and among regions that now embrace the Global South and North. The IWM is an independent and non-partisan institution, and proudly so. All of our fellows, visiting and permanent, pursue their own research in an environment designed to enrich their work and to render it more accessible within and beyond academia.You can find IWM's website at:https://www.iwm.at/

Speaker: Mislav Matejka, CFA, Head of Global Equity Strategy In contrast to Q1, when key bond proxy Defensive sectors – Utilities, Real Estate and Staples – were the three worst performers, Q2 has brought a change. QTD, these three sectors are in line in Europe, making a positive swing in performance of 10%. The worst performers so far this quarter are Autos, Travel & Leisure, Chemicals, Luxury and Construction Materials – all Cyclicals. Will this shift last? We believe it will, on further repricing of a range of tail risks, and reiterate our barbell of OW Defensives and Commodities. First, many Cyclical sectors, with some notable exceptions such as Chemicals, Commodities and Logistics, strongly outperformed Defensives last year, when PMIs were falling, so why should they now outperform again? Also, the valuations of Cyclicals, which were cheap at end 2022, have moved to the expensive side of fair value. Second, activity momentum is picking up in manufacturing and in Europe/China, the laggards from last year, but crucially US growth momentum is likely slowing into year-end. As US CESI has turned negative, Defensives could have the upper hand. Finally, bond yields are likely to be flat or move lower into year-end; we reiterate our call from last October that US 10-year yield has likely peaked at 5%. Now, in terms of styles, this should keep helping our OW on Growth vs Value, but should also support bond proxies. Looking at Defensive sectors, Healthcare as an index was up this year in Q1, and in Q2 it worked even ex NOVOB. We think this broadening should continue. Utilities see a pickup in CO2 and in gas prices, in addition to supportive EPS momentum. Staples do not have many fans, but are markedly cheaper currently than in 2022. On the negative side, we remain cautious on Consumer Discretionary – in particular on Autos and on Luxury; we are still UW Chemicals, even as we acknowledge that they already had a terrible 2023, and are again strongly behind ytd, by 1000bp in Europe; and we think that Banks are likely to keep rolling over.   This podcast was recorded on 17 June 2024.

In the wake of Xi Jinping's first visit to Europe in five years, the European Union and China continue to navigate an increasingly challenging period in relations. Concerns over growing trade imbalances, unfair subsidies in key industries, high-profile espionage cases, and China's continued support for Russia and its war on Ukraine place increasing strain on this pivotal relationship. At the same time, economic interconnectivity and shared concerns over transnational issues like climate change and AI governance compel coordination and cooperation. President Xi's recent visits to France, Hungary, and Serbia have underscored the divisions within the European Union regarding China policy, leaving the path forward uncertain. At this critical juncture, on May 15, 2024, Jason Kelly sat down with Noah Barkin and Janka Oertel to unpack recent developments, key issues, and the road ahead for China and the European Union.   About the speakers About the speaker: https://www.ncuscr.org/event/europe-china-relations/ Follow Noah Barkin on X: @noahbarkin Follow Janka Oertel on X: @oertel_janka Subscribe to the National Committee on YouTube for video of this interview.

In this episode, Escala Partners CIO, Tracey McNaughton, talks about the connection between community, political stability, and the size of government. We are now in an age of big government. This has implications for economic growth, inflation, and central bank independence. (0:55) Tracey, firstly, how was the ride last weekend? (1:16) I'm a cyclist but even I know you can't ride a motorcycle without a clutch. (4:24) We saw that with the budget a fortnight ago, didn't we? Government spending as a share of GDP has increased. (6:04) When did this shift toward protectionism start? Was it with the election of Trump in 2016? (8:21) What about Europe? Isn't Europe China's largest trading partner? (10:00) I suppose with so many countries going to the polls this year, the idea of placating disgruntled voters with election sweeteners puts even more pressure on government budgets. (11:53) We were talking in our Investment Committee meeting this week about why the US is so surprisingly resilient – even in the face of 11 interest rate hikes. Gerard put up a great chart that showed the relationship between increased government spending and higher economic growth. (14:22) Governments might be going their own way, but markets all seem to be going one way – and that's up. (16:14) Turning to Australia. We had the latest inflation data for the month of April yesterday. It came in a little hotter than expected. (18:00) We have also had some activity data recently that points to a weakening outlook here.

In a world of increasing uncertainties, the European Union's need to protect itself from new shocks is on the rise. Pandemic-related supply disruptions,  the energy crisis provoked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and economic coercion coming from China have all shown that the EU needs to do more to prepare itself for what may come. But how should Europe de-risk its external relationships without foregoing the benefits of trade?

Europe correspondent Seamus Kearney joins Susie to look at talks aimed at finding a path toward peace in Ukraine that have taken place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with the surprise inclusion of China. The weekend closed-door meet did not include Russia however, which had labelled them "futile". Meanwhile the war is creeping closer to Russia, with number of daring attacks inside the country - including Moscow's second-largest airport being forced to suspend flights due to an attempted drone attack. And Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has had another 19 years added to his jail sentence, while controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate has been freed from house arrest in Romania.

This week we talk to Nico Luchsinger, Director of Asia Society Switzerland, focusing on the Europe-China relationship. DISCLAIMER This publication is for information- and marketing purposes only.

In this episode, we dissect the drivers of global light vehicle sales, automakers' profit margins and the sector's rapid electrification shift. Volume improvement will be most pronounced in Western Europe this year after the biggest drop-off on the war in Ukraine and associated supply chain difficulties. Sales in China will also be solid, with the unwinding of pandemic-related restrictions providing a boost to the economy and consumers. Then at 6:45, we look into the growth prospects of electric vehicle battery makers that are powering the EV shift, as well as the risks they face from rapid expansion.Guests: Matthias Heck and Gerwin Ho, both Vice President – Senior Credit Officers in the Corporate Finance Group, Moody's Investors Service.  Host: Jeff Pruzan, Vice President – Senior Research Writer, MIS Research, Moody's Investors Service. To read more on this topic, visit the Behind the Bonds page on Moodys.com (some content only available to registered users or subscribers). Related Research:Auto outlook goes negative on weakening demand, diminishing marginsElectrification momentum is strong, automakers must invest to remain competitiveStrong electric vehicle demand outweights risks from raw materials, high investments  

In 2022, Chinese global outbound foreign direct investment (or FDI) has fallen to an 8-year low. Accordingly, figures for Chinese investment in Europe are also down, hitting the lowest mark since 2013. This episode accompanies a new report by MERICS and Rhodium Group on Chinese FDI in Europe.Two of its authors, Agatha Kratz, Director at Rhodium Group and leader of its research on Europe-China relations and China's economic statecraft, and Gregor Sebastian, Analyst at MERICS, talk about the scope and distribution of Chinese FDI in Europe, the reasons for the lowest FDI figures in the last decade, and how the key role of Europe in China's electric vehicle expansion served as a saving grace. The conversation was led by Johannes Heller-John.

Over the next few episodes, we are going to be focusing on the US-China rivalry and what it means for the world. In addition, we will try to bring to the forefront a diverse set of views on this rivalry and what key actors are concerned about and trying to do.

When reports emerged of Chinese 'police service stations' operating in Europe, alarm bells began ringing across the continent.

Jonah Blank, senior visiting research fellow with the National University of Singapore, and formerly South and Southeast Asia Policy Director for Joe Biden in the US Senate, joins Kopi Time for a deep dive on contemporary geopolitics. We devote the first half of the podcast on Ukraine, spanning Putin's motivation, risk of regional spillover, impact of sanctions, and possible end-game scenarios. Jonah makes astute observations on the complexities and historical context at play, while acknowledging the exceptional uncertainty that lies ahead. We then move on to Russia-China matters, including the intersection of strategic interests and cooperation on payments and energy/commodity trade. Jonah then offers a somewhat inside-the-beltway perspective on competition/rivalry between China and the US. We conclude by North and South East Asia's dilemmas in this context.

After two decades of military involvement in Afghanistan, the United States and NATO are withdrawing their forces, with potential implications for regional security and thus for Chinese interests. Some observers have suggested the U.S. withdrawal will create opportunities for China to fill the void, but in fact, Beijing is worried about the potential negative security and economic impact of the U.S. pull-out. China has several major investments in Afghanistan, including in the Aynak Copper Mine and in the Amu Darya Basin Oil Fields. The Taliban has said it would welcome Chinese investments and reconstruction, but the Taliban's rapidly growing influence has alarmed the Chinese government. An explosion that killed nine Chinese workers in Pakistan in mid-July, which Beijing has said was a terrorist attack, has further heightened Chinese fears of regional instability. Bonnie Glaser talks with Andrew Small about China's interests, strategy, and future role in Afghanistan on this episode of China Global. Andrew is a senior transatlantic fellow with GMF's Asia Program and author of The China-Pakistan Axis: Asia's New Geopolitics. His research focuses on U.S.-China relations, Europe-China relations, Chinese policy in South Asia, and broader developments in China's foreign and economic policy.

Veerle is joined by Raffaello Pantucci, Senior Research Fellow at RUSI and at the RSIS in Singapore, to explore the current state of Europe-China relations. Tensions are running high following the imposition of sanctions by the EU as well as by the UK, the US and Canada over human rights violations in Xinjiang. And these are made worse by Beijing's retaliatory measures targeting China-focussed academics, analysts, and research institutions. But the EU and the United States are not perfectly aligned on how to view Chinese behaviour, or on how to mitigate existing concerns.

In this episode, Dr. Mikko Huotari joins us to discuss the evolving relationship between Europe and China. He highlights the multifaceted relationship between China and the European Union, noting that the EU has labeled China as both a strategic partner and a systemic rival. Dr. Huotari argues that while the coronavirus has been a driver of recent tensions in the Europe-China relationship, there has been a longer-term negative trend of worsening ties and a lack of progress on policy agendas between the EU and China. In particular, Dr. Huotari examines China’s human rights record and discusses its impact on relations with European countries. He also evaluates the evolution of European sentiment towards China and security issues regarding China, and assesses the prospect for greater transatlantic cooperation between the United States and Europe on China policy. Lastly, Dr. Huotari analyzes the impact of the US election on Europe-China ties, saying that productive transatlantic collaboration is more likely under a Biden Administration than a second Trump administration.    Dr. Mikko Huotari is the Executive Director of MERICS. His research focuses on China’s foreign policy, China-Europe relations, and global (economic) governance and competition. He has published on China’s rise as a financial power, trade and investment relations with Europe, and geopolitical shifts related to China's emergence as a global security actor.

Episode 8 — World, Interrupted: the Coronavirus’s Effect on International Affairs The eighth episode of the Berlin Policy Journal Podcast looks at the present state of international affairs during the pandemic, and what’s likely to be its outcome, particularly in Europe. To begin, we speak with British journalist and author David Goodhart of London think tank Policy Exchange, who argues for taking a step back from what he describes as hyper-globalization. Then, Berlin Policy Journal executive editor Henning Hoff is joined by Didi Kirsten Tatlow, Senior Fellow at the Asia program of the German Council on Foreign Relations, or DGAP to discuss how the Europe-China relationship is changing in the wake of aggressive behavior and disinformation from Beijing. Formerly a correspondent based in Hong Kong, Didi has firsthand experience of getting in China’s crosshairs. Finally, we end with an audio postcard from Jacob Mardell, who has been covering China’s massive Belt and Road Initiative. His Beijing-to-Brussels travel on the New Silk Road was interrupted by the global pandemic. Now back in the UK, he reflects on what might be next for China’s relationship with the rest of the world. ————————————

An increasingly fragmented relationship between the European Union and China, caused by the coronavirus crisis but something that was already building up before. Today we are speaking to Andrew Small, a senior fellow in Washington DC studying relationships between Europe and China and the USA and China. So Andrew, were there indications of a degradation of the relationship between Europe and China before the start of this crisis, or were there indications that the relationship may have been strengthening ? “The mainstream opinion in Europe was heading in a much more critical direction, exemplified by the European Union’s paper that came out a year ago that labelled China a “systemic rival,” and talked about the fact that the balance of challenges and opportunities with China had gone through a marked shift. There are concerns about rising authoritarianism under Xi Jinping, and in a purely economic lens, many countries in Europe have seen a marked shift. You are seeing the instrumentalisation even of the private sector in China that would work to the detriment of European companies. >> In Europe, since countries did not know just how bad the crisis could get, they were under-prepared. Are the biggest cracks in the Europe-China relationship now total mistrust ? “The handling of the early stages of the breakout has certainly exemplified a whole series of forms of distrust - the way that inflammation flows took place, repressive behaviour of the State, locking up of whistleblower doctors, suppression of information about the virus. They have also sought to exacerbate internal divisions in Europe and exploit economic fragility in Europe.” Have you noticed a correlation between the countries that have been more greatly affected by the crisis and the backlash and blame-shifting towards China ? Do you think this is justified, or a tactic to divert the blame and make the government’s handling of the crisis look good, or at least less bad ? “I think it is both. China-blaming is an obvious route for governments that have handled the crisis poorly, as you have seen in the UK and the USA. It is also justified to significant degree, and I think we are going to see a worsening of the blame-deflection. There is also well-warranted criticism about how they handled the early stages.” In the aftermath of this crisis, are we now going to see a Europe that is far less economically reliant on China ? “How far can you really rely on China in a situation like this again ? There is a wider question that has come up about the level of economic dependency on China. The buzz-word in Europe has been “diversification”. There needs to be a more effective level of diversification away from China. European companies were left dependent on China alone for their supplies alone. This is going to be a period in which Europe has to see China as a rival too.” China and the European Union, the second and third biggest economies in the world. What are the main worries about a potential degradation of this relationship on the world economy ? “I don’t think we are going to get a replication of the US-China dynamics. You will see a systematic rebalancing over time, and there will still be crucial areas of cooperation that will be pursued with China such as tackling climate change and other European priorities. Cautionary exercise rather than something that leads to a lasting restructuring, it could certainly lead to a rebalancing of global economic dynamics, some of which were underway already and will no doubt be accelerated by this.” There is no doubt that, whenever the crisis wavers, both economically and diplomatically the biggest tests for Europe and China are still to come.

Yixiang Xu, the New Research Initiative Fellow at the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies (AICGS), spoke to us about Chinese responses to the coronavirus pandemic, data, 5G, transatlantic trade, and U.S. and European approaches to China in the 21st century.  This interview was recorded on March 23rd.

Show #557   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Wednesday 21st August 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   Firstly thank you to new EXECUTIVE PRODUCER GENE RUBIN! Also PRODUCER @TESLAHISTORIAN and finally PRODUCER ANDREW TILL   TESLA POSTPONES FULL SELF-DRIVING PRICE INCREASE UNTIL V10 AND SMART SUMMON "Tesla was planning to increase the price of its “Full Self-Driving” package last week that was supposed to coincide with an update to its Autopilot features, like the new Smart Summon, but it now won’t happen until September/October." writes Fred at Electrek: "Earlier this month, Tesla announced plans to increase its Full Self-Driving price again on August 16, but August 16 came and went without any price increase. Today, Tesla CEO Elon Musk now confirmed that the price increase has been postponed until they release Version 10. Smart Summon, also known as Enhanced Summon, builds on Tesla’s previous Summon feature, which was used by owners to move their cars autonomously for a few feet in their driveway or in tight parking situations. With the new version, owners are able to Summon their Tesla vehicles from further away, and the cars will navigate more complex parking environments."   https://electrek.co/2019/08/20/tesla-v10-smart-summon-postponed-full-self-driving-price-increase/   2020 KARMA REVERO GT STARTS FROM $135,000 "Earlier this month, Karma Automotive announced details about the new 2020 Karma Revero GT, which is scheduled for retail deliveries from Q4 2019 on." according to InsideEVs: "The starting price (MSRP) is $135,000, which after destination charge and deducting the $7,500 federal tax credit, is effectively $128,900. 28 kWh battery (instead 21.4 kWh) expected 61 miles (98 km) of all-electric range EPA range (Revero 37 miles EPA) up to 360 miles (579 km) of total range, including up to 80 miles (129 km) electric and up to 280 miles (451 km) with generator 0-60 mph (96.5 km/h) in 4.5 seconds (Revero 5.4 seconds) 1.5L BMW TwinPower Turbo three-cylinder in-line engine (same as in BMW i8) as onboard generator (previously 2L GM engine) dual-motor rear-wheel drive (with torque vectoring for rear wheels)"   https://insideevs.com/news/366314/2020-karma-revero-gt-135000/   REALITY CHECK: CHADEMO FAST-CHARGING STATIONS STILL OUTNUMBER CCS ONES "As tallied by the U.S. government’s Alternative Fuels Data Center, you’ll find that even now, in the second half of 2019, there are still more places to fast-charge CHAdeMO vehicles than those with CCS. As of August 20, 2019, there are 2,140 charging stations and 3,010 connectors with CHAdeMO fast charging. CCS still lags behind CHAdeMO in the number of stations by more than 250, while it has about 500 more connectors. And Tesla has 678 Supercharger locations with 6,340 connectors. The Nissan Leaf lineup is the only one still on the market to primarily use the CHAdeMO standard." says Green Car Reports: "Part of the reason why CCS hasn’t gained ground is that, as called out in the Partial Consent Decree of the Volkswagen diesel settlement, Electrify America has to future-proof its stations by operating across different charging standards. Therefore, all public-facing fast chargers will include a CHAdeMO connector—just one, in most cases, running at 50 kw instead of the CCS connectors’ 150kW or 350kW"   https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1124639_chademo-fast-charging-stations-still-outnumber-ccs-ones   MYSTERIOUS AUDI Q3 TEST MULE SPOTTED WITH CHARGING INLET "Spy photographers recently spotted in southern Europe an Audi Q3 with a charging inlet on the left-front fender, which clearly indicates it's a plug-in test mule." but what IS it, asks InsideEVs: "The question without an answer is whether it's a plug-in hybrid or an all-electric Audi test vehicle. It might herald a Q3 PHEV or a Q3/Q4 e-tron BEV, according to CarPix."   https://insideevs.com/news/366367/audi-q3-test-mule-charging-inlet/   TOMTOM BOOSTS ELECTRIC REVOLUTION WITH TOOLS TO BEAT RANGE ANXIETY TomTom, [TOM2] the location technology specialist, today announced the launch of two new APIs for developers to help build applications for electric mobility. The new Long Distance EV Routing API allows users to route from A to B beyond one charge. The routing algorithm, specifically designed to optimize travel time, calculates the route including stops to charge, displaying an estimated arrival time that also considers the charging time. The second new API, EV Charging Stations Availability API, provides information about the availability of the charging stations per plug type, making sure the driver knows before arrival whether a charging point is available for use or not.   https://www.tomtom.com/company/press-releases/news/25686/   FIRST 50 ORDERS DELIVERED AS ELECTRIC JCB DIGGER IN FULL PRODUCTION JCB has made manufacturing history by going into full production with the construction industry’s first fully electric mini excavator – with more than 50 machines already delivered.   The 19C-1E models - JCB’s first-ever electric diggers - are now coming off the assembly line at JCB Compact Products in Cheadle, Staffordshire, with orders rolling in from customers from across Europe and North America. The machine is a staggering five times quieter than its diesel counterpart and can be fully charged in under two hours. The model is expected to be a big hit with companies working inside buildings and in emissions and noise-sensitive inner-city areas. Fully charged, the 19C-1E can put in a typical full day’s shift for a mini excavator.   The 19C-1E will also offer customers great cost-of-ownership benefits, with research highlighting that over the first five years, charging costs will be 50 per cent cheaper for customers who would otherwise be using red diesel. Servicing costs are also expected to be up to 70 per cent lower compared to the diesel model.   https://www.jcb.com/en-gb/news/2019/08/first-ever-electric-jcb-diggers-start-to-roll-off-production-line   EO CHARGING AND MOIXA CONNECT FOR SMART EV CHARGING "The UK charger manufacturer EO Charging and smart grid firm Moixa are cooperating to create a dedicated smart home battery and solar package for electric vehicles. The system is designed to store renewable energy and to use it to charge the EV." reports electrive: "More specifically, the solution is to integrate an EO Genius EV charger and a 4.8kWh Moixa Smart Battery. The system is then connected to a customer’s solar panels and managed via Moixa’s smart-energy management software GridShare. Chris Wright, CTO at Moixa, stressed that not only will this maximise the use of home-generated solar energy but “at the same time customers will be able to take full advantage of emerging smart tariffs, and benefit from the cheap overnight energy for car charging while covering their household consumption during peak pricing”."   https://www.electrive.com/2019/08/21/eo-charging-and-moixa-connect-for-smart-ev-charging/   TESLA’S EUROPEAN DEMAND RUMORS GET BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER "There is a certain predictive quality in looking at the ships Tesla’s has charted to ferry cars to Europe. In the past two quarters, the Europe/China ratio was 50/50, with the European vessels carrying some more cars than the ships bound for China." analyses Clean Technica: ""Now, in this third quarter, the Europe/China ratio is 2/1. Of the first 9 ships planned so far, 6 have been destined for Europe. The first shipload has reached the delivery centers, the second is on quay in Zeebrugge. The third is on the Atlantic, the fourth is nearing the Panama Canal, the fifth is at Pier 80 at San Francisco being loaded, and the sixth is due early next week in port."   https://cleantechnica.com/2019/08/21/teslas-european-demand-rumors-get-blown-out-of-the-water/   ⛴ Morten Grove

Patrick Jenkins and guests discuss why new powers given to Europe’s banking watchdog may not be enough to stem the tide of dirty money sweeping through the bloc, a potential bad-debt build up in China's banking system, and why so many bankers in New York seem to love running.

April 16, 2019 China’s advances in research and development range from its ambitious space program to controversial experiments with gene editing. Yet scientific cooperating with China can also offer benefits and opportunities for Europe and its scientists. But how to spot the risks and where to draw red lines? Merics director Frank Pieke, co-author of a recent study on Europe-China cooperation in higher education and research, says Europe has been somewhat naïve in dealing with China’s strategic approach to research and development. Europe, he argues, urgently needs to develop its own research strategy to better defends its own interests when dealing with China. Listen to Frank Pieke in the latest Merics Experts podcast.

China's attempts to gain influence across Europe have sparked reactions on the continent. A new report from the European Think-tank Network on China (ETNC) analyses the role that political values play in Europe-China relations today. Does Europe stand up for its core values when it deals with China? How does China seek to influence Europe on core issues such as human rights? Will China's attempts to influence Sweden be successful? This seminar will present and discuss the findings of the report. A special emphasis will be given to the policy of Sweden. Welcoming remarks: Christer Ahlström, Director, UI Panel: Tim Rühlig, Analyst, UI Viking Bohman, Analyst, UI Nicola Nymalm, Research Fellow, UI Moderator: Henrik Chetan Aspengren, Research Fellow, UI To read the report, please visit: https://www.ui.se/english/events/previous/2019/february/europe-china-relations--the-role-of-political-values/

Since the gruesome terrorist attack in the Kunming train station in 2014 carried out by members of a Xinjiang separatist group, and a spate of attacks in Xinjiang since the Urumqi clashes in 2009, the Chinese authorities have grown increasingly concerned about domestic and international Islamist terrorism. The number of arrests in Xinjiang has skyrocketed recently, accounting for 13% of the total number of indictments in China in 2017, even though the population of Xinjiang makes up only 1.5% of the country’s total. The government has banned ‘extremist’ behavior in Xinjiang such as fasting during Ramadan, avoiding alcohol, and wearing veils and growing beards, all practices associated with Islam. Events in Xinjiang took a disturbing turn earlier this year as allegations grew of the systematic detention of Uyghurs by Chinese authorities in camps throughout the autonomous region. A United Nations report alleged that as many as one million people, or roughly 7% of the Muslim population of Xinjiang, had been sent to these detention facilities. The Chinese government has insisted that the camps are for ‘re-education’ purposes, a claim rejected by the United States government and many others. China has also been navigating a shifting international context, from concerns over Uyghur fighters in Syria, ISIS propaganda material targeting China, fears over safe havens in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the spillover implications of new trafficking routes for Uyghurs fleeing China through Southeast Asia. The National Committee hosted a conversation with Andrew Small of the German Marshall Fund, an expert on Chinese counterterrorism policy, on October 25, to analyze the reports of the Chinese government’s treatment of Uyghurs in the context of international terrorism.   Andrew Small is a senior transatlantic fellow with the German Marshall Fund's (GMF) Asia Program, which he established in 2006. His research focuses on U.S.–China relations, Europe–China relations, Chinese policy in South Asia, and broader developments in China's foreign and economic policy.

Derek Elmer is Founder and CEO of I-On-Asia, a firm that specializes in intelligence gathering and analysis, anti-counterfeiting and what he calls sensitive operations, notably in China.  He shares in this podcast some of what he knows about who is doing what to whom (at least in Asia) and for how much.   He’s got provocative but credible backup for his predictions, among them that the US, Russia, Eastern Europe and China will be involved in armed conflict within the next 3-5 years.   We talk about that and corruption, anti-corruption, counterfeiting of everything from Nike shoes to cars, how the Chinese manage to send their kids to school in the West for free (it’s all about shrewd real estate purchases) and much more in this can’t-miss episode of Asia and the West.

As China’s economy has expanded rapidly in recent decades, outbound Chinese FDI has reached record levels, and Chinese investors seeking opportunities abroad have seized on Europe as a preferred destination for outbound FDI. A massive influx of Chinese capital represents both opportunities and challenges for future Europe-China relations. Many relatively small countries view surging Chinese investment as a welcome new source of funding that can reduce dependence on the EU and western European markets. Europe-bound FDI also allows Chinese investors to diversify their assets and move up the value chain, as they make acquisitions in high tech and advanced service industries. At the same time, concerns have been raised about reciprocal market access for European firms, and the role of Chinese state capital in recent high profile deals. In his book China’s Offensive in Europe, Mr. Philippe Le Corre, an expert on Sino-European relations at the Brookings Institution, analyzes the nature and trends of Chinese investments in Europe, and what they mean for the intercontinental relationships. For the fifth installment of our 50th Anniversary series, China and the World, Mr. Le Corre discussed his book with the National Committee on October 6, 2016 in New York City. Philippe Le Corre is a visiting fellow in the foreign policy program of The Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. He is also a lecturer at Johns Hopkins University and a senior adviser to Sciences Po University in Paris. His research focuses on China-Europe relations, Chinese foreign investments in Europe and Chinese soft power. Mr. Le Corre joined Brookings after a long career related to China, initially as a foreign correspondent for Radio France International and Le Point newsweekly, from 1988 to 1998. After serving as a reporter for five years in the UK, he became a fellow of the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University in 2003, continuing his focus on China. He left Harvard to join the office of the French Minister of Defense, first as a senior adviser on international affairs and public diplomacy, and then as a senior policy analyst on Northeast Asia within the Ministry’s policy planning staff. His work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, Foreign Affairs, Le Monde, China Economic Quarterly, and other widely read publications. His books include China’s Offensive in Europe (Brookings Institution Press, 2016); Tony Blair, les rendez-vous manqués (Tony Blair's Missed Opportunities, 2004); Quand la Chine va au marché, leçons de capitalisme à la chinoise (When China Goes to the Markets, 1999); Après Hong Kong (After Hong Kong, 1997).
