Does China have a clear economic incentive to get the Russians out of Ukraine and get some sort of settlement? Building on this earlier thread and then examining a must-read @ForeignPolicy piece on the #geoeconomic dynamic. 1/
China's land transport corridor across Eurasia is imperiled, both by the war and by sanctions. @Andreebrin of the @RISAPOfficial notes, "Poland is home to train routes connecting China to Europe along the New Eurasian Land Bridge. 2/
This railway corridor that crosses all of Eurasia—running through Kazakhstan, Russia, and Belarus—has become an important branch of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), dubbed the iron silk road." 3/ foreignpolicy.com/2022/03/01/bel…
On Thursday, US @SFRCdems will vote on a "Strategic Competition Act" with China.
On #geoeconomic front, it aims to pull together some FP, #connectivity practices into one China-centric strategy and also proposes concrete policy measures.

Having read through the #UK #IntegratedReview a few personal observations from a 🇩🇪 perspective, focusing on just a few key points - short thread
Very good to see how clearly the #IntegratedReview prioritizes #Europe & the #UK role via #NATO
Also good to see that cooperation with the #EU in the area of #security is specifically referenced.
Also good to see that cooperation with the #EU in the area of #security is specifically referenced.
The #IntegratedReview appropriately highlights #geopolitical & #geoeconomic shifts and the importance of the #IndoPacific while being realistic about what #UK #capabilities can achieve in that part of the world (emphasis on diplomacy & partnerships).
#Geoeconomic #PandaHuggers "contrary to silly calls for boycotting Chinese goods, India cannot meaningfully disengage its dependence on China." yes we can, with a joint IS framework among the #E4 (EU-India-Japan-USA) #DualisticTrdPol

@cosmicpinot I'm not sure we have an answer, but we are observing many important trends.
If you don't already follow him, @ericfish85 is one of the best commentators on policies re Chinese students and researchers in the US. Here is his latest from SupChina

@cosmicpinot @ericfish85 The US visa restrictions fit within a much broader sweep of measures re #geoeducation including cutting down on research collaborations, prosecuting Thousand Talents people who didn't declare, butting back on optional training extensions, looking more seriously re CIs etc.
@cosmicpinot @ericfish85 And these within the broader swathe of #geoeconomic measures like export controls, restrictions on Chinese inward investments (CFIUS), national security trade exemptions etc. They all suggest a strong movement toward some level of technological decoupling, esp re ICT, quantum etc
I spent yesterday writing for my book on #WinnersLosers w/ @nicolas_lamp about the coronavirus and different ways it implicates debates about economic globalisation.
I think it's going to become one of the touchstones of this debates. It can be read in so many different ways-1

There is the #geoeconomic angle which emphasises the problems of concentrated economic interdependence eg Australian higher education reliance on Chinese students - in some cases 70%+ come from China and make up almost a quarter of university budgets.

There is also the #geoeconomic angle which emphasises US vulnerability in relying on Chinese manufacturing production for more than 80% of its medicines, including 97% of its antibiotics.

Back from recent #Tokyo trip, many interesting discussions on #geoeconomics ie developments in 5G, investment screening, export control, industrial strategy, and the EPA/SPA. Talks with Japan's MFA, EU Delegation, think tanks and academia. Some observations: [LONG THREAD]

For Tokyo, US implmt. of export controls under ECRA is next big thing. Shape and form of BIS/DoC 'emerging & foundational tech' still open but potential implications for Japanese (and EU) business is massive (extraterritorial enforcement/sanctions?)

And Europe? As @MaaikeOh and @BrigitteDekker_ show in this recent @Clingendaelorg report, European debate on export controls almost absent, not part of any EU strategic documents (eg latest EU China Outlook). Equally pale at MS level

In the 2nd post of this series @lawfare, we examine how the realms of economics & security are converging again in the #Geoeconomic World Order @AntheaERoberts @VictorAFerguson

Geoeconomics: The Variable Relationship Between Economics and Security lawfareblog.com/geoeconomics-v…
What could have remained a sublimated economic rivalry between the United States & China has now mutated into an explicit geopolitical contest that is playing out in significant measure in the int'l economic law sphere. @OliverStuenkel @howserob @rdmcdougall @ricbdc @ElenLazarou
Under the Int’l Economic World Order, trade & investment treaties involved a relative separation between economic & security realms. Claims of #depoliticization @laugepoulsen @JoostPauwely This rationale is challenged by the Geoeconomic World Order.
In this piece w/ @AntheaERoberts & @VictorAFerguson published by @lawfareblog, we claim the world is entering a #geoeconomic order, characterized by great power rivalry between the United States and China and the clear use of economic tools to achieve strategic goals. @LeuvenGGS
The increased convergence of economic and security thinking and strategies is likely to lead to a significant restructuring of the laws and institutions that govern #trade and investment. @AmritaNarlikar @nicolas_lamp @NicoKrisch @howserob
A recalibration between economic and security interests is taking place, with US & China attempting to walk back integration in the economic realm (US seeking to decouple from China) and digital realm (with China promoting a fragmented Internet) @pstAsiatech @ChadBown @SammSacks
