FYi, for a lateral analysis to Chinese Spanish relationship, see also this Elcano Royal Institute , basically:

" Spain shares the EU’s threefold vision of China as partner, competitor and rival, and advocates a greater role for its institutions and greater coordination and collective action among its member states to achieve a more balanced relation and overcome a clear bilateral asymmetry in favour of China."

Add: According to some opinions in the FT, Pedro Sanchez , the current PM (socialist party) is sort of a tactical maverick, sometimes seemingly inconsistent, but it’s all about the needs of (his) current political arena.

Yips even if you want to do business, the US admin just makes it undoable or say stuff that rubs you in a very wrong way. Fuck the DEI BS.

IIRC, Canada will or has joined Europe’s Horizon programme.

Consequences, and the end of and era. I reckon, the world will be a very chaotic place for a while, as a new world order must find it’s balance.
