In this week’s Morning Briefing the panel looks at China and Europe’s strategic autonomy. After the Beijing visit of French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, followed closely by the visit of German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, views diverge on how Europe should react to Xi Jinping’s increasingly confident foreign policy in terms of both Russia and Taiwan.
