Loved reading it! Is there any school of thought in the Indian MoF that sees a role for itself as helping smaller states stand up to China? Or are the economic ties just way more important ?

How is his French ?

Was there any reflection on German industry’s “dependence/subservience” to China? And also were there any concrete plans regarding economic security? Thanks :)

Yes we’re are in deep shit, however the only party with a policy proposal on this issue (FDP) can’t bring itself to jump over its debt limit and which limits its ability to address all the other problems!

Who’s more likely to restrict questions? Tories or Labour under Starmer?

Note - there is no actual evidence I've seen that standards for military occupational specialties (as opposed to basic army fitness tests) including ground combat have been lowered, as Hegseth has repeatedly alleged. www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

Yeah really interesting but same here I guess you get in the habit of forming sentences a certain type of way!

How do you notice it? Because I pretty much do the same

It’s a fantastic piece, although I would slightly disagree with @guychazan.bsky.social the Tacheles is better than people say :)

I have since finished the book and while I do stand by my wish for more consideration of the CCP’s political objectives, it is an excellent read and I can only suggest it to anyone wishing to know more about China.

Do you think this could lead to a PM from the socialistes ? Maybe even Hollande?

Hey quick question what do DI and DO stand for? Thanks
