CAI has to be legally reviewed & translated before ratification. However, ratification cannot be separated from evolving dynamics of our wider relationship. Chinese retaliatory sanctions=unacceptable & regrettable. Prospects for ratification will depend on how situation evolves

This is what @VDombrovskis told @AFP on the ratification of #CAI with China - not first time he’s said it & not breaking news. To be clear: this is not a formal suspension decision, just means there’s no political outreach right now to promote the agreement - see end of quote.

Why would people not share this stuff? Anyone who wants my syllabi, slides, hypos, paired podcast recommendations, etc. is more than welcome to them. I find the question baffling...

Apparently this is a hot question, so let me ask you #AcademicTwitter : do you share syllabi with other profs or do you guard them with your life?
