Version 1.0 | Date: 14 Jan 2026 | Update cadence: monthly (via eBriefing)
What changed now (3 signals)
Timeline (minimum set)
Three sensitive files (what it is / why it matters / what to watch)
File 1 — Electric vehicles (BEVs): duties + price undertakings
What it is: duties in force; exporters may submit undertaking offers.
Why it matters: access-by-conditions + monitoring logic.
What to watch: acceptance criteria; monitoring/enforcement; spillovers.
File 2 — Political track: fairness, reciprocity, overcapacity
What it is: summit track sets narrative and red lines.
Why it matters: influences enforcement intensity and new instruments.
What to watch: overcapacity + concrete follow-ups/deliverables.
File 3 — Economic security: de-risking (not decoupling)
What it is: reduce vulnerabilities while preserving selective cooperation.
Why it matters: broader compliance surface (supply chains, controls, screening).
What to watch: critical inputs; export controls; sensitive-sector scrutiny.
