Das ist dann wohl sowas wie die Höchststrafe für Teile der SPD. AfD-Reaktion: "Die SPD ist nun dort angekommen, wo die AfD-Fraktion seit Beginn des Ukraine-Kriegs steht". BSW-Reaktion: "Wagenknecht bietet SPD-Aufrüstungsgegnern Zusammenarbeit an". #Manifest #SPD #Russland

The US and China have a new framework to de-escalate. Whether that'll be durable is unclear. What is clear is that China can and will weaponize its export dominance. We discuss what the trade war teaches us about China's economy in our new RAND Commentary. 1/

🚨#Panama: the BlackRock-Hutchison deal is looking worse. #China will not permit the deal without COSCO SHIPPING having "veto rights" over important consortium decisions. This is a poison pill. Cosco is far more of a security threat than Hutchison, linked to PLA companies.
