@guardian And great to see Bloomberg pick up on our @InstituteGC preview of China's new Five-Year Plan - in particular why "anti-involution" efforts don't mean China is giving up on its push for green tech dominance. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
China's unusually busy Two Sessions kicks off today. Great to speak to @guardian on why innovation, not consumption, will be the big theme of the next five years. theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…
As Starmer touches down in China, I spoke with @Reuters about what might be on the table for our first PM visit to the country in nearly eight years reuters.com/video/watch/id…
Genuinely stellar line-up from @InstituteGC at this year’s Labour conference - come say hi if you’re in Liverpool!
We're bang in the middle of global upheaval that's sweeping all before it. This could include EU-China relations We're waiting for the *actual* change, but there's been lots of noise, so here's a long thread on what's happened this year and where we may go Anatomy of a detente?
China won’t namecheck the US directly, but US unpredictability is quietly shaping decisions in Beijing. Great to speak to @thetimes about how self-reliance is the overriding theme in 🇨🇳’s new 2025 agenda. thetimes.com/world/asia/art…
Watching 🇨🇳’s all-important Two Sessions? We trawled through hundreds of pages of provincial work reports so you don’t have to! Some key takeaways below for @InstituteGC on what might be on the table and how Beijing might navigate US unpredictability institute.global/insights/geopo…
Tensions with 🇺🇸 makes making friends - and deepening supply chain integration - elsewhere more important than ever. The Two Sessions will give a sense of how far Beijing will go to build an image of itself as an advocate of open trade
4. Domestic resilience building is key, but there’s still a role for the rest of the world. Mentions of “high-level opening up” have doubled and “Global South” markets were mentioned for the first time.
Delighted to be joining the fantastic team at OCPL as a non-resident expert - there’s so much great work to be done getting the best of tech and 🇨🇳 academia into policymakers’ hands
We're delighted to announce a new Non-Resident Expert: Ruby Osman. Ruby is a Policy Advisor and China expert at Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (@InstituteGC) Her research focuses on Chinese foreign policy and elite politics. @rubyosman_
