A new study finds that Chinese state-owned companies are investing in Europe and hiding the government’s involvement. Since 2010, 40% of Chinese investments in Europe have Chinese state involvement, some disclosed and some not.

Meanwhile, the EU has begun a lawsuit against the UK for not honoring parts of its Brexit agreement.
