      When someone get angered you’re (most of the time) doing the right thing

      Reciprocity is chinas biggest problem. They don’t have even remotely, a leg to stand on.

      “And China says these kinds of requirements would breach World Trade Organisation rules and global agreements relating to intellectual property.”

      The absolute audacity of China complaining about intellectual property rights and WTO rules is genuinely laughable!

      For the last three decades, the Chinese government has explicitly forced every single Western company that wanted to do business there to partner with a state owned firm and hand over their tech secrets. That was the mandatory price of admission to their market. Now that Europe has finally woken up and decided to apply those exact same rules to Chinese EV and battery makers, Beijing is suddenly throwing a temper tantrum about “protectionism” and “fair trade.”

      Europe spent way too long letting China hollow out our manufacturing sector with heavily subsidized steel and solar panels while we naively clung to the idea of a free market. If we want to keep any real industrial base or green tech innovation inside the EU, forcing foreign companies to actually build things here and share their know how is the absolute bare minimum we should be doing.

      I love how the EU lately has been described as a “middle power” when both China and the US often view it as an adversary. The European Union’s GDP is higher than China’s

      Please please, please… Let us do that. We’re the only ones believing in free trade and we’re being played like fools.

      At least we can come up with our own tech without stealing blueprints and changing only the name…

      Remember: as much as you can hate Trump’s USA, China has never and never will be your “friend”,throughout history in their eyes there’s only the Middle Kingdom and vassals/country they can exploit.

      Well, yes the EU would be in breach of the WTO and the post brexit trade deal.

      However, it’s the EU and they follow the rules when it suits them.

      The EU should encourage Chinese companies to invest, so that the industrial products consumed by Europeans are made in the EU.

      Okay it makes them angered but… if Europe will be poor who will buy the items from China? it is pointless.

      Ehh, china can just cut corners and beat with price and technology.

      Like the new gel electrolyte batteries of CATL.

      We gave them means to be ahead of us in tech. It will take decades for us to build up manufacturing, know-how and cost efficiency.
