A tale of two cities: why China appears so different when viewed from Barcelona and Prague
In a gleaming white technology campus half an hour's drive north of Barcelona, Josep Maria Gomes wants to turbocharge an already thriving partnership between Spain and China. Advertisement His job at TecnoCampus, a hybrid facility housing a university and business and technology park in the city of Mataro, is to connect local start-ups with cutting edge tech innovations. More and more these days, he sees these coming from China. 'In sectors like cybersecurity, Internet of Things, sensory robotics and artificial intelligence, they are much more developed than us,' says Gomes, who in a previous role for the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce tried to lure Chinese investments into sectors including AI and electric vehicles. In recent months, organisations such as these have ridden the crest of a wave, as Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez raced to establish himself as Europe's 'anti-Trump'. As some European leaders dally over climate commitments, Sanchez has doubled down on the green energy and push for cleantech that helped Spain become the EU's fastest-growing economy last year. Advertisement Amid a widespread backlash against immigration, the Spanish government has made clear that it needs new arrivals to power growth and enrich its society. And with President Donald Trump doing much to burn the transatlantic relationship, Sanchez has wasted little time in pivoting to China as an alternative, publicly pushing for a new EU approach.

Spain investigates cyber weaknesses at small power plants after blackout, FT reports
Spain is demanding information from small electricity generators on their cyber defences as investigators probing last month's blackout seek to determine whether they were a weak link exploited by bad actors to bring down the country's power grid, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday. Senior government officials have 'concerns' about the robustness of cyber defences at small and medium-sized power facilities, notably solar and wind farms, the report said citing one person familiar with the matter.
