Sounds like the EU are making the right moves if it pisses off the US and China at the same time. Time to double down and provide more funding.

Do any of the Wumao bots wanna come out of the woodwork and try and convince us that China isn’t trying to squeeze Europe dry?
I offer you now as the time to bring that up.

“Made In The European Union” is better as people can know it comes from within the EU, thus it shall be in general higher quality then “in Europe”

WTF is china pissed about? :))
Can you as an european even a company in China? You can’t. But they can open in europe without any restriction.
Can you receive chinese government grants as a foreign entity? They’ll arrest you for even trying to probably :))
I mean for real, China’s economy is effectively 100% closed to outsiders, how are they complaining?

Well that’s probably a good thing, if one of the economic superpowers disagrees with it you know it’s because it eats into their potential profit.
I like this plan a lot, it gives good incentive for companies to not outsource entire production lines of key industries. I’m not well read on this plan, but does it cover tech sectors as well? That’s one of the big concerns I have thought of recently, because outsourcing is prevalant and I can’t think of a good way for it to be prevented

The protection of European industry is key to maintaining the European way of life.
The chinos are terrible at producing. All they do is copy and reproduce poorly and cheaply.
The threat shows how well Europe is reversing its policy.

It is absolutely hilarious to see the Chinese government complain about “systemic discrimination” and “forced technological transfers.”
For the last twenty years, if any European or American company wanted to do business in China, Beijing literally forced them to partner with a state owned Chinese company and hand over all their intellectual property and tech secrets! That was the mandatory cost of entry into their market. Now that Europe is finally waking up and applying those exact same rules to Chinese EV and battery companies trying to access European public funds, Beijing is suddenly throwing a fit about unfair protectionism.
Europe spent way too long playing by the rules of free trade while China heavily subsidized their own industries to kill our local manufacturing. If we want to keep any decent industrial jobs or green tech innovation inside the EU, this legislation is the absolute bare minimum we should be doing. Let them complain.
