Reading between the lines I'd say that China is gearing up to deliver a Chinese version of the JCPOA, a negotiated end to the Iranian-US nuclear standoff. This will be welcome in Europe and a potentially a key component of an effort by China to pivot towards Europe.

I think we need to be honest about what took out SVB and why. The bank was deliberately destroyed by the super wealthy interests of Silicon Valley - it was and is an exercise in so called "creative destruction" for the self interest of capricious and greedy technology investors… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Saving the bank would be a worthwhile objective, but as a bailout has been ruled out - for good reasons - by Janet Yelland - this appears to be impossible.
Saving the deposits of the victims of this collapse is worthwhile. But discussions about saving the interests of large… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
As for the events that took the bank down - the run on the bank and the role of Peter Thiel in that - an libertarian extremist individual of extreme malevolence - this should be fully investigated by the SEC.

Ok 👌so in my opinion this account of the destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline - which we know took place during a NATO exercise - coming after Seymour Hersch’s expose (the pre-eminent US Intel insiders insider - which seeks to point the blame at Ukraine holds no water.
It’s a very poor fig leaf for a US 🇺🇸 administration who’s credibility around this war is rapidly disintegrating.
Europeans are being taken as fools, expected to believe whatever nonsense the global superpower across the pond throws at the wall.
Politically - even if it were sourced and evidenced (which it isn’t) - it creates more problems than it solves inside Europe in relation to this war, coming as it does before an expected spring offensive in this horrific and futile war. Arguably the dumbest, and most pointless… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
