Joris Teer's Chaillot Paper, 'Beijing’s critical raw material weapon – And how to dismantle it', was cited in two Euronews articles discussing Europe's critical raw material dependence on China and the EU's slow efforts to diversify supply chains. "Europe is lagging behind," warns Joris. While it may have set ambitious local production targets and designated strategic projects to deliver on them, "it has not adopted the policies needed to make these financially viable in the face of China's state-sponsored competition."

To reduce exposure to Chinese leverage, the Chaillot Paper proposes creating an "allied industrial bloc" instead of relying on "trading partners".
