The document discusses the changing political environment in Europe regarding foreign investment, particularly from China. Recent actions from the European Commission and some EU member states indicate a desire for stronger policies to review foreign takeovers in strategic industries. While foreign investment is generally welcomed, there are increasing concerns about state-backed Chinese acquisitions and technology transfers. The European Commission may propose rules allowing member states to block foreign investments deemed politically motivated, focusing on key sectors like transportation and technology, but implementing any EU-wide laws will be difficult due to differing national interests.

Chinese investment in Spain topped 600 million euros in 2014, according to an ESADE study.
According to this report, 93.8% of Chinese direct investment in Spain since 2000, some €1.662 billion, occurred in the 2012-2014 period. Of that amount, €610 million was invested in 2014, 49% more than in 2013. Moreover, by the end of the year, total investment in 2015 could be even higher, as a result of various major transactions recorded over the last six months in the real estate/hotel and agribusiness industries.

Brunswick takes a deeper look at why this election matters, the key issues that will shape Hong Kong’s future direction, and how the candidates are perceived to measure up in addressing them.
The fifth and final session of the 12th National People’s Congress concluded with no significant change in policy direction. While there were few surprises in this year’s gathering, the meetings gave a fresh view on the priorities of the administration and the implications for those operating in China.
This year’s meetings are the warm up act to the much more important 19th Party Congress at the end of this year when Xi Jinping will end his first five-year term as head of the Communist Party of China and when a number of the most senior members of the Party are expected to retire. The question is not if Xi Jinping stays for a second term (that’s a certainty), it is who will join him in the Politburo and the Standing Committee as this will influence the next five years and give early indication whether he may break with recent precedent and stay for a third term (2022-2027).
In this year’s report we look at how the Chinese authorities are seeking to balance growth, economic reform, and stability. Last year, the authorities spelled out a desire to achieve growth and reform—including drastically reducing overcapacity—while ensuring stability and enduring minimal pain. Achieving this simultaneously remains extremely challenging. This year they talked extensively about the reform agenda and its role in ensuring long-term growth, yet the importance of stability leading into the 19th Party Congress later this year is potentially even more important. “Stability is of overriding importance,” stressed Li Keqiang. Other key topics at this year’s sessions beyond ensuring reform and continued growth included a focus on job creation and poverty alleviation.

The following briefing, put together by our experts in the region, outlines where that optimism comes from and the hidden challenges that the region may face.
France 2017 elections – The left wing primariesBrunswick Group
There is no turning back. Now with a designated champion for the Socialist Party, the five major candidates running for the Presidency are in the starting blocks. Only three of them – Le Pen (far - right), Fillon (right) and Macron (center left), seem capable of making it to the two-person second round. The wild card Mélenchon (far-left) should however not be forgotten, as well as veteran Bayrou (center-right), who has not decided yet whether he will run. Both recent primaries have shown that in France, as elsewhere, the unexpected is likely to become the routine.
Learn more about the five main contenders.

Perceptions of Chinese businesses going globalBrunswick Group
In 2016, China has surpassed all other countries in cross-border M&A. Yet, this unprecedented level of investment is not without its challenges. Nearly one in ten attempted acquisitions by Chinese companies fail.
In Brunswick’s report, “Deals, Dreams & Doubts,” we go beyond the traditional deal volume and deal value data to understand the perceptions of those with a stake in Chinese outbound investment from Chinese business leaders to opinion elites. We surveyed 1,600 top decision makers in China and three of the top markets for Chinese outbound investment – the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany – to gain an insight into what drives the decision to invest and what impacts the decision to approve or reject investments by Chinese companies.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
