We need to have a more serious public debate on why any escalation in the Taiwan Strait matters greatly to us here in Europe. Happy to share my second ECFR commentary co-written with my amazing colleague Manisha Reuter!

Eine erste sneak preview des Buchs…Erscheinungsdatum von “Ende der China-Illusion”: 31.8. daserste.de/information/wi…

🧵on 🇺🇸🇯🇵🇰🇷 Trilateralism It is more fragile than you think. There is a lot of commentary about today’s Camp David summit being driven by China and North Korea. And that is obviously true. But there is a SK domestic politics story – the conservative 1 washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

Morgen bekommt man das Buch von Janka Oertel über das „Ende der China-Illusion“ in jeder gut sortierten Buchhandlung. Das Interview mit Alice Bota & Peter Dausend macht deutlich, warum dieses Buch ein absolutes Muß ist. zeit.de/2023/37/china-…

My fantastic colleagues Manisha Reuter Alexander Lipke and Frederic Grare are currently in Delhi to talk substance on concrete cooperation in the Indo-Pacific with a great gang of researchers and policymakers thanks Eva Pejsova for raising attention to it! ☺️

It was an honour to welcome European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at an event today, jointly organized by ECFR and MERICS. With the EU-China summit just three weeks away, the event will outline the priorities for a future European China policy. ECFR Asia

Taiwan prepares for a contentious presidential and legislative election on Saturday, with cross-strait relations high on the agenda. Read on the high stakes of rising tensions for Europe as the Taiwanese head to the polls. @manishareuter Alexander Lipke @ECFR buff.ly/3Oese8i

🇩🇪's former spy chief #Maaßen, who is now categorized by his former employer, Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz as right-wing extremist, has officially launched his party, the #WerteUnion ("values union").

In our recent ECFR piece, james crabtree and I warned about the risks of Russia's and North Korea's growing ties for European security. Reports of DPRK engineers deployed to Ukraine demonstrate the dangerous potential of this bilateral relationship. ecfr.eu/article/russia…

If true this is a serious escalation in the conflict, and one which could well prompt South Korea to re-consider its decision not to supply weapons to Ukraine. For context on why North Korea is Russia's most important partner in the way from ECFR 👇 ecfr.eu/article/russia…

This week's news of North Korean troops in Russia revealed the link of European and East Asian security. How can Europe react? Pushing for more joint action with its two key regional partners is one avenue, argue Elli Pohlkamp and I in our latest for ECFR ecfr.eu/article/triang…

As the first North Korean soldiers are reportedly getting under fire in Kursk, james crabtree and I sketch out ways for Europe to respond to this escalation in our latest for ECFR. Closer strategic cooperation with Seoul will be key in countering growing 🇷🇺-🇰🇵threats.

President Yoon Suk-yeol’s declaration of martial law has triggered the most serious crisis in the democratic history of the Republic of Korea. Oskar Pietrewicz writes about martial law, the impeachment of the president and the political crisis in South Korea.

Super happy to have authored my first solo Commentary for ECFR. The public opinion alignment between Europeanss and South Koreans on central issues, from Trump to Russia and Ukraine, was too striking to not write about it. Promising basis for deeper political cooperation.

Lee Jae-myung will be South Korea’s next President, restoring some degree of stability after Yoon's failed martial law imposition exactly six months ago. First thoughts on implications for Korea's foreign policy, and how Europe can best engage Lee. ECFR ecfr.eu/article/the-pl…
