The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:

The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

I am hearing from multiple sources that the EU Commission is announcing its first DSA fine tomorrow against X on ad transparency, blue check & dark pattern, and researcher access to data.

The fine is in the "100s of millions of Euros."

Elon about to get big mad.

While looking up this thread, in todays context of Dutch minister Karremans not being able to meet his equal Nexperia counterparts in CN, I also found an older note on the Citroen 2CV.

Hint: I would check whether those CN counterparts are *really* absent, on a 'conference'.

#1/2
Side-note:

Louis de Funes was (about the only) bon ton French movie in both China & Russia back in the days.

I once travelled in an oldtimer rally convoy; the 2CV team met more 'childhood recognition' than any other vehicle, in both countries.

Even Beijing Citroen dealership was enamoured....:))

Chipmaker Nexperia Warns of Global Supply Risks as Dutch–China Clash Escalates
Dutch semiconductor manufacturer Nexperia has issued a rare public warning, calling on its China-based operations to immediately restore disrupted supply chains. In an open letter, the company said customers across major industries are reporting “imminent production outages,” underscoring the seriousness of a dispute that has quickly grown into a geopolitical flashpoint between the Netherlands and China. The conflict now threatens global automotive production and highlights the fragility of the semiconductor ecosystem, where even low-cost, low-tech chips can halt entire manufacturing lines.
