Summary
Study finds UK and Germany among economies most exposed to China; EU de-risking efforts yield only modest results.
AI Analysis
Structural geopolitical risk narrative, not an immediate catalyst. Reinforces medium-term de-risking theme: negative for Europe-exposed multinationals, mildly positive for reshoring/defense/domestic supply chains. Broadly neutral for US indices.
