Finally stumbled across the glitzy new Apple Store at Jing’an temple in Shanghai. Also a coffee shop down there. Feels a bit like Paddington basin.
Stuck in Beijing traffic and getting close to my train departure time. Anxiety setting in. Taxi driver who can see I’m a bit stressed kindly offers me a cigarette. I don’t smoke, but very kind nonetheless. Beijing taxi drivers are always a lot of fun.
Protesters accused police of excessive force during arrests at an anti-war protest camp at Emory University in the US where one female professor was hauled to the ground and detained and another demonstrator tasered.
Feels like a pretty seismic week in EU-China relations. I get the feeling that we're not in Kansas anymore Here is a summary of the major events that have happened, let me know if I missed any, bearing in mind it's still only lunchtime on Friday...

Funny that if u drove an auto to the Beijing Auto Show 2024, you probably had to sit in a traffic jam from hell. There are severe bottlenecks in the last few km to the exhibition centre. The organisers have highlighted the absolute worst aspect of car ownership in this country

Big story in @dennikN: western partners are beginning to filter what intelligence they share with 🇸🇰 govt, for fear of it being passed on to Moscow. Article based on numerous intelligence sources in central & western Europe, as well as NATO. dennikn.sk/3955366/zapadn…

I think this pushback by China gives insight into how they see the world, and is a classic case of mirror imaging. For MOFA today and whoever wrote this, arrests like this in China would be calculated to send a message or to make a point, therefore that’s what happened here too.
