Patriotism and patriarchy on Chinese social media
In late April 2024, a man committed suicide after allegedly being swindled by his girlfriend, igniting gender tensions on the Chinese internet. Millions of online comments defended the man, known as ‘Fat Cat’, and attacked the girlfriend — discourse that quickly grew into generalised criticism of all women, accusing them of having a ‘money-worshiping’ mentality and squeezing men out of the dating market.
Echoes of the Cold War in Northeast Asia
The highly orchestrated imagery of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin standing next to his North Korean counterpart, Kim Jong-un, in Pyongyang’s main parade square is bound to evoke disturbing thoughts of the past. It reminds us of the historical turning point when Joseph Stalin, with Mao Zedong’s support, gave the green light to Kim’s grandfather to invade South Korea.
Xi's Europe tour highlights China's illusions - Analysis - Eurasia Review
If Chinese President Xi Jinping's European tour in May 2024 was intended to warm increasingly frosty relations with the European Union and weaken transatlantic ties, it was a failure. The European Union's announcement of taxes on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) and the anti-Chinese tone of the G7 leaders' communiqué less than a month later made this clear. Three countries were carefully chosen by China for Xi's European tour. In France, Xi celebrated 60 years of diplomatic relations.
Xi’s tour of Europe puts China’s self-delusion on display
If the purpose of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s European tour in May 2024 was to rewarm increasingly frosty relations with the European Union and weaken transatlantic ties, it was a failure. The European Union’s announcement of duties on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) and the anti-Chinese tone of the G7 Leaders’ Communique less than a month later made this clear. Three countries were carefully chosen by China for Xi’s European tour. In France, Xi celebrated 60 years of diplomatic relations.
The EU's Global Gateway strategy's alleged weaknesses are actually its strengths Original
Scepticism of the European Union’s ability to execute big ideas is almost a cliché in foreign policy circles. Perhaps this is why media and talking heads have mostly dismissed or ignored Global Gateway, the EU’s ambitious €300 billion development financing strategy, or “connectivity” in Brussels parlance. The criticisms are familiar: Global Gateway is too small to be effective. It is burdened by bureaucracy and social and environmental standards.
Macron’s slippery tongue on Taiwan litmus test
French President Emmanuel Macron triggered a series of geopolitical debates after returning from his state visit to China on April 9, 2023. Strong criticism was provoked by his remarks that Europe should reinforce its strategic autonomy and avoid becoming either a “vassal” of the United States, or a follower which adapts to an “American rhythm and a Chinese overreaction” over Taiwan.

European Institutional Complexities and EU-Taiwan Relations
What you need to know The European Union and its member states are enhancing their political relations with Taiwan, but it comes more expressly from the action of their legislative branches rather than their executive actors. By David Camroux and Earl Wang The European Union’s foreign policy practice involves multiple institutions and multi-level governance.

As Trump fades, the EU and US find common cause in facing up to China
On October 23, a new transatlantic coordination mechanism, the “EU-US Dialogue on China” was officially launched. The European Union and the United States worked for four months to establish it after confirming each other’s willingness at the end of June. The process was complicated by the arduous transatlantic relations and the numerous disagreements that accumulated between the EU and the US under the Trump administration.
How Will the EU Answer China’s Turn Toward ‘Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy’?
China Power | Diplomacy | East Asia The EU has no choice but to be united with regard to its interactions with China as Beijing’s foreign policy becomes more centralized and assertive. Chinese President Xi Jinping raises his glass and proposes a toast during the welcome banquet for visiting leaders attending the Belt and Road Forum at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, April 26, 2019.
Lessons from China's public diplomacy in the EU
Throughout the development of the Covid-19 crisis, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has worked strenuously to frame the story from its perspective – this wouldn’t be a replay of the SARS story in 2013. Not content with simply asserting that its system allowed it to successfully bring the coronavirus epidemic under control, China is seeking to be seen as the saviour by exporting personal protective equipment (PPE) around the world.
