FT thinks Xi Jinping’s European tour was unproductive - to whom? I think the opposite, it was quite a success to China. Xi offered no concessions on the EU’s trade concerns or reassurances that China will restrict the flow to Russia of dual-use goods — because he didn't have to.…

Every EU country has seen its exports to Central Asia boom since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Here is Italy, where exports to Kyrgyzstan are up 1000%. Once you add this up across all EU countries and all of Central Asia, the numbers are big and keep Russia's war economy going...
