China is always “important” but rarely a priority. And this would not be the first time…

Trump tariffs on China will soon bring 'irreversible' damage to many American businesses Apple's iPhone and other tech got a reprieve from Trump's China tariffs policy, but most businesses will soon face 'irreversible' damage from the trade war.

“The biggest concern here is a complete uncertainty of the actual end-game of the Trump administration,” he said. “No one will consider massive investments in U.S. production if tariffs are merely a ploy to negotiate better trade deals.

Finally!

Nadine Godehardt: "Es braucht mehr strategische Kommunikation gegenüber China" China hat es gerade leicht, sich als vernünftige Alternative zu den USA zu präsentieren. Europa muss darauf nun ausgewogen reagieren, sagt die Sinologin Nadine Godehardt.

Chinas globale Aktivitäten sind subtiler, aber nicht weniger erfolgreich als die von Russland. Peking setzt mit ganz unterschiedlichen Mitteln größere Autonomie gegenüber den USA und der EU durch, meint @godehardt.bsky.social im Interview mit @zeit.de: www.zeit.de/kultur/2025-...

Cool!

It is time to really speak up for democracy - even if it is only in our everyday circle. Indeed.

This is what I hear very often - so clearly only hearsay no scientific basic - that there is no real alternative because in the end the democratic parties end up in a coalition anyway. One of the reasons for the AFD success in the East.

Big problem also for a democracy if elections are not leading to “real change” it is a dilemma. A very dangerous one.

Real change is an illusion, Germany as many other European democracies reaches the era of negotiated coalitions between parties that in the past never really though to be working together. This is not encouraging. Further, there are quite a lot people turning to vote for AFD.

Erdoğa just threw down the gauntlet—Turkey backs Ukraine’s FULL territorial integrity.

Turkey ain’t just some side player in this. They control the Black Sea. They control NATO’s southern flank. And now, Erdoğan is making it clear: Russia’s land grab is not up for negotiati

Trump just blamed Ukraine outright for Russia’s invasion. ‘You shoulda never started it,’ he said. What a lie, a Russian lie—from the President of the US.

Trump says Haley, Pompeo won’t join his administration President-elect Trump announced that former Ambassador Nikki Haley and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo would not be joining his administration on Saturday.  “I will not be inviting former Amb…

Trump says no jobs for Mike Pompeo and Nicki Haley. China hawks out: Looks like Trump wants deals with China, not confrontation. The people who funded him this round (Musk, Yass wt al.) will love it. Former staffers and associates, maybe not so much?

I think we all need to read more Weber to understand better the difference between “Gesinnungsethik” and “Verantwortungsethik”.

Weil “absichern” auch gerade für Kulturschaffende immer so gut funktioniert hat…

That is going to be interesting 😳🫣☺️!!!

Let’s start and aim to be creative.

Möglicherweise ist dahinter auch System; erst alles einmal auf links drehen und dann wieder gezielt öffnen. Das gibt der KP mehr Möglichkeit zu „regulieren“ und letztlich zur „Kontrolle“.
