There is not a chance in hell that the EU, Brazil, India or anyone else is going to work together to roll back Chinese influence if the first thing supposed China hawks in Washington do is collapse in a heap when Trump decides Xi is a great guy actually

“India and the EU have struck a deal that is substantially more ambitious than previous agreements,” writes Arvind Subramanian. The country “will have fully liberalised its manufacturing sector within seven to ten years”

Boom! And replace in this sentence China with 'Europe' and 'EU, India etc' with Britain, and you have a good summary of what happened during Britain's EU membership: projecting their own neuroses onto Europe. (to this day many of its media and policy elites remain strikingly incurious about it)

US Gov: We want to be isolatlists now.
Rest of the World: Okay, bye.

That's why EU, UK and other countries are moving away from USA and towards likes of India and China, more stable that way.

Do enjoy inflation going up next couple of decades.

India which was the largest buyer of Russia oil has decreased its purchases by 3,5 times year over year in January 2026. The drop was due to the ban on the import of fuel in the EU made from Russian oil.

The trade deals with the EU and the US, along with other reforms recently implemented hold the potential to transform India into a paragon of openness and a manufacturing powerhouse, Arvind Subramanian argues in the Economist.

Of course China is a huge strategic challenge for the EU, India and everyone else. But turning as complex a society as China with its own mix of strengths and weaknesses into a projection space for American neuroses of decline is not going to help anyone handle China's impact on the wider world

“A customs union with the EU would call into question UK trade deals with countries such as India, Australia and Japan”
So what? The EU already has better FTAs with India & Japan, a MRA with Australia soon to be FTA, all of which the UK would benefit from in a CU www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

India-EU Treaty: Forged by geopolitics

https://www.europesays.com/2761869/

After nearly two decades of stop-start talks, India and the European Union recently announced the conclusion of negotiations…

Maybe a series about non-EU Middle Powers (India, Turkey, Brazil, South Africa etc) navigating the emerging world order?

I’ll also listen to anything with Ivan Krastev.

Shadow tanker PEACE lacks safety management, insurance.

She is flying a false flag of Timor-Leste where Timor-Leste demands of other states to stop her.

She is lawless. Sanctioned by EU and UK. She is on her fifth delivery of Russian crude to India last 12m.

She is leaving Baltic Sea laden now.

EU SIGNS MASSIVE TRADE deal with India - and trump panicks.

@profgalloway.com was right: hit him on markets.

The us is losing on every front, their debt is owned by Japan, and now trump scrambles to sell dubiously nationalised oil from a third country...

END OF THE KREMLIN'S "SHADOW FLEET" – EU blocks Russia's tankers, China & India refuse oil! #Ukraine

Middle East oil imports in India also rose by 20% to 3 million barrels a day. The decrease in Indian oil purchases happened due to the EU ban on the import of fuel produced from Russian oil which went into effect on January 21st.

Fast and furiously bad:
US officials may mock the lengthy EU-India trade deal negotiations, but experts suggest Washington’s own ‘deal’ with the South Asian powerhouse may not be quite the win they think it is.

Something you may have missed: the EU's recent trade agreements with India, Indonesia, and Mercosur all reference Paris Agreement implementation.

The EU said at the time that the EU-NZ FTA was a template for their new approach to trade, and they weren't kidding.

January 2026 marked a turning point for the Russian-Indian oil partnership which was based on importing Russian crude, refining it and exporting it as fuel to the EU. That no longer works. India is also diversifying its oil imports due to pressure from the US.

Trade Deal?

It took 18yrs for the EU to reach a Trade Agreement with bureaucratic India. It runs to 24 chapters & >1,200 pages, (India leaned bureaucracy from Empire)

But the good ol’ USA has a Trade Deal with Modi in a month, “resetting the terms of economic alignment”

Sure! Let’s wait & see…

BRICS is quietly building its own tech super‑bloc.

China leads on AI and humanoid robots, while Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa invest in chips, supercomputers and nano‑driven manufacturing.

Is this the start of a true alternative to US‑EU tech power?

You don't have to buy any US junk for as long as Rump Regime stands. Boycott US goods. Turn to EU, Japan, Canada, Ukraine, India, etc.

While I’m on this, I also think a lot about a friend pointing out to me that India has a larger population than ALL Europe, is slightly smaller and also has many individual languages, so you’re usually better served comparing India with Europe (or even just the EU) than other nations
