The EUISS is an agency of the European Union
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".
EUNews also reported on the publication of the Chaillot Paper, providing an extensive analysis of the study's main points.
In the lead-up to President Trump's and President Xi's two-day summit in China last week, the Italy Post also featured the analysis in an interview with Tim Rühlig on the potential outcomes of the meeting. "The summit isn't over yet, and the two sides haven't published the detailed outcomes," he noted, "but there are already many rumors circulating."
According to Tim, we will not see the end of the trade war, "but rather a series of important agreements on trade and technology, rather than the political dimension of [the war] in Iran and of the Taiwan issue."
