In Europe, the EU's Forced Labour Regulation, set to take effect in December 2027, will ban products made with forced labor. Meanwhile, the UK and other European countries have implemented laws focusing on corporate responsibility and transparency in addressing forced labor.

EU to Join US-Led 'Pax Silica' Amid Concerns Over Strategic Autonomy

EU to Join US-Led 'Pax Silica' Amid Concerns Over Strategic Autonomy

The European Union (EU) is preparing to join 'Pax Silica', a US-led initiative aimed at coordinating export controls and co-investment in advanced chips, particularly to curb China's technological advancements in artificial intelligence. This move involves the EU purchasing at least $40 billion worth of US AI chips. The decision has sparked criticism and doubts among EU members and officials, with some viewing it as a threat to the EU's strategic autonomy. The initiative is part of a broader trend where the EU has been aligning with US-led 'small cliques', such as the US-EU strategic partnership on critical minerals. Critics argue that these alliances may compromise the EU's interests and increase its dependency on the US supply chain.
