Sanctions from Beijing cause CAI to waver

The sanctions against European politicians, scientists and organizations represent a fierce diplomatic escalation between Brussels and Beijing. China's behavior calls the EU's previous strategy into question. This is also to be a topic at the summit of EU heads of state and government this week. A meeting of the EU Parliament's CAI monitoring group has been canceled because of the sanctions – China's sanctions strike is causing a massive shake-up in the agreement.

On the other hand, American money creates security against Washington's political escapades.
