US and EU should welcome Chinese manufacturing, not try to shut it out
In an amazingly short time, China has developed globally leading technology and manufacturing in multiple sectors, including energy storage electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy , telecommunications equipment, biotech and more. Many markets want these goods, and China now makes them better and more cheaply than anyone else. But the unprecedented pace and scale of China's development in these sectors have also caught many countries off guard, posing a threat to their domestic industries, which are now slower, more expensive and less advanced than what is coming out of China. Even though these countries also have policies to help home-grown businesses succeed, they fall far short of the scale and effectiveness of China's industrial policy. And so, many countries, especially in North America and Europe, are doing all they can to keep advanced Chinese products out of their markets. Trade barriers have gone up, with a moving goalpost of reasons for barring or hindering the sale of Chinese goods in these countries, from national security concerns and intellectual property theft to unfair government subsidies . In some cases, these are valid concerns, but usually the heart of the problem is in the imperative to protect home-grown industries and avoid an overdependence on China. The result is that some of the most advanced and affordable products are being artificially shut out of markets that would otherwise be buying them. In the past, places like East Berlin and Cuba kept out foreign technology and never developed anything close to a competitor. Similarly, there are leading car brands from all over the world on American roads, but not Chinese cars, and especially not Chinese EVs, now widely considered the best in the world in terms of driving range, advanced features and pricing.

South China Sea needs US-China ‘security talks mechanism' to prevent conflict: think tank
China and the US should consider setting up a 'security dialogue mechanism' on the South China Sea to help prevent conflict in the contested waterway, a noted independent Chinese think tank has suggested. According to analysts at the Beijing-based Grandview Institution, US-China aerial and maritime interactions in the South China Sea have been marked by confrontational, complex and unpredictable dynamics. However, competition in the strategic waterway was still 'manageable', though it was likely to be prolonged 'structurally', they said in a report published on Thursday. The report, titled 'Competition and Risk Reduction on the South China Sea – Views from China and the United States', was prepared in collaboration with the Pacific Forum, a Hawaii-based foreign policy research institute. Both China and the United States recognised the risk of inadvertent escalation and had developed several crisis management tools, according to the executive summary of the report. 'However, implementation remains inconsistent,' it said. Liu Xiaobo and Sophie Wushuang Yi, both researchers with Grandview, called on both sides to consider 'institutionalised' dialogue mechanisms focused on the regional security architecture, maritime legal order and law enforcement norms, and crisis response protocols. Liu and Yi co-wrote one of the three papers making up the report. Jeffrey Ordaniel, a non-resident adjunct senior fellow and director of maritime programmes at the Pacific Forum, authored another, while the third was by Thomas Shattuck, another Pacific Forum non-resident fellow.
