Ouch, European Union! Despite persistent warnings, the #EU has maneuvered itself into a precarious position of dependency: #China has a #monopoly on our rare earths – 98 percent of the EU's demand recently came from China. And we urgently need them in all sectors – from #health

🇨🇳calls itself a “near-Arctic state” in its 2018 White Paper. Yesterday, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the EU’s diplomatic strategy and geopolitical cooperation in the Arctic. The resolution clarifies that this is a misleading self-designation with no legal

My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims of the devastating fire in Tai Po, #HongKong. This tragic event reminds us of the fundamental importance of safety and protection for all residents. I stand in solidarity with those affected and wish the injured a

How can the #Trump administration seriously propose a “peace plan” that sacrifices #Ukrainian sovereignty and rewards #Russian aggression? I sincerely hope there are still responsible voices within the Republican Party who see where Trump is heading — and who have the courage to

There are significant security concerns regarding China's espionage and data access. China is not trustworthy. We discussed our dangerous dependence from China and the EPHI Report by China Expert @jojjeols with MEP @EnginEroglu_FW

South Korea's exports to tiny Kyrgyzstan just reached half a billion Dollars in one month. This stuff is obviously not headed to Kyrgyzstan but going to Russia. The West is guilty of a collective failure on Ukraine: chasing short term profits instead of shutting down autocrats...
