The European Union is preparing an “economic security doctrine” that will for the first time connect its trade and economic defences – but while Brussels builds the pipes, national leaders remain reluctant to turn on the tap. Sources say the doctrine, which was announced last week by trade chief Maroš Šefčovič, will allow bureaucrats to coordinate between existing and future instruments as they seek to make Europe’s fragmented arsenal quicker and more efficient to deploy.

1 week ago US trade deal leaves EU as the sidekick in Trump’s China policy

Europe has surrendered to Washington’s China containment strategy, trading sovereignty for subordination in a consequential geopolitical realignment. The August US-EU “Framework on an Agreement on Reciprocal, Fair, and Balanced Trade” was not negotiation but a capitulation that redefined Europe’s international role. Brussels accepted US President Donald Trump’s terms wholesale, recasting the European Union as an auxiliary enforcer of America’s China policy. This transformation centres on clause...

Aromatic infusions of fermented and aged Puer tea have been popular in China for centuries, but later generations of enthusiasts came to value its investment potential even more, dubbing it a “drinkable antique”. Chinese entrepreneurs and members of the country’s growing middle class long regarded the tea, produced in Yunnan province, as a wealth preservation investment rivalling stocks and real estate, but the market has come off the boil recently as the economy slows and investor appetite...
