Tweets about China security









Many are pessimistic about being able to see the future of China.



​The EU Strategic review put forward in 2015 highlights China as the first among the new powers 



​


Clear link to globalization, good and bad flows.






At the same time there is uncertainty ahead.








Perhaps not a linear future?
(From the Handbook on EU and Security)




​


​Can the EU agree on a joint strategy towards and with China? (Handbook excerpt)



​

Is the EU and Europe effectively equipped to relate to China - (from the Handbook) 





European issues with China clearly related to values.





But the #EUGlobalstrategy focusses on economy




The Commission has proposed a new strategy in 2016





These are the main proposals focussing on trade and development



The European Parliament also conducts studies on China 


​
Relatively effective EU approach to China - comparatively speaking





The US debate full of propaganda and misconceptions - US problems not mainly related to China


High hopes in Russia to diversify dependence through China - but are they realistic?




​And inside China focus on stability and the survival of the Party. 








While great power aspirations are clearly visible in several directions: South China Sea, India, Japan -- and the revival of the Silk Road. 









But what will the economy allow?











The End of Chinas rise?












China and the world economic stability 








​


​China as a nuclear power 



​



My own experiences from the environmental problems in China.
