@noahbarkin expects "no sudden major shift on China from any new government" but a continuation of the general trend of hardening attitudes towards the actions of the CCP on the international stage

European Council on Foreign Relations' Janka Oertel argues that a new consensus on China is emerging in Europe - "the 'Holy Trinity' of Confront, Compete, Collaborate no longer holds".

@oertel_janka: "There needs to be a lot of thinking on how to address the China issue from a structural point of view. Is China going to be framed as a foreign policy subject or a broader systemic issue?"

Oertel on AUSUK: views the technology-sharing aspect as most crucial to focus on - could represent the beginning of wider cooperation involving the EU

@ConStelz on AUSUK and Indo-Pacific: "if we bilateralise our policies, and everyone engages in Schadenfreude, this will be watched upon with glee in Moscow and Beijing."

@noahbarkin suggests that US and EU motivations behind Trade and Technology Council may differ. For US - about countering China. For EU - about rolling back Trump era tariffs and policies. Complex problems to work through to level playing field
