Say what you want about the Chinese, but Xi really [hit the nail on the head a few days back](https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/von-trump-attackiert-von-xi-hofiert-peking-umwirbt-deutsche-auto-bosse-110384905.html), while courting German automakers, addressing Trump:
“Your own lamp does not shine brighter if you (try to) put out another.”
They had always said they are for peace. But on the other hand they export a lot of military goods to russia. (So they are working against the intrest of the EU and other partners). They also jump in for europe to import cheap russian resources. (Pre war the Eu was russias biggest export partner of oil, gas and coal, now it is china, india and turkey.)

So if they could stop their military support for russia it would already be nice. (Lets not even talk about their hacker groups that steal tech for their companies. Or that their textile are using chemicals that are often 100x over the eu safety regulations)

(Or that chinese ships are often try to sabotage europeans under sea networks)
I think that in the end, everyone else will find a way to work without the US. There will be high tariffs on bilateral trade with the US and low tariffs for the rest of the world. If the US blocks access to its markets it will no longer be an important market. As it will take time for the US to replace external goods with local production, the rest of the world will have time to adapt. The US dollar will no longer be the primary currency of trade. Everyone will be somewhat worse off for a while but the US will cease to be relevant.
EU should pressure them to tell their lapdog to back off Ukraine if they want trade negotiations, of course the EU is too spineless to tell em off.
If they do, then we will be truly screwed.
r/europe Reddit loves China now. Interesting times.
Lmao, tell them to talk to Putin to end the war. I’m sure Europe will get it’s answer on who China prioritizes lol.
No one is doing anyone’s bidding for anything, if the Chinese talk like that they plan to slowly fleece us from the inside so economically we have three ways: still be with the US and end up looking and colonised even more, surrender to the Russian invasion and die like cowards or consolidate as an economic-military power, f**k the Americans, the Russians and keep the Chinese happy. Too many open fronts actually, that’s not good.
We have to change to adapt and that means sacrificing comforts and benefits and dare I say even some rights such as having people around freely
China is supporting Russian invasion in Europe. How does the EU even feel about that?
If Europe decides to make a deal with China, countries like Japan, South Korea, India, and the Philippines might want to rethink those sanctions on Russia. Russian gas could really help us out.
It feels pretty messed up if Europe chooses to cozy up to China, especially when China’s threatening Taiwan and bullying its neighbors. That would be turning their backs on Indo-Pacific partners, countries that backed the call to sanction Russia.
It’s also disappointing to see the sentiment of this sub toward China they condemn Russia’s invasion and criticize US “betrayal,” yet seem willing to entertain a similar situation with China.
Working closer with China…. sure. But not stupidly so and certainly not to make Europe as dependent on China as it is/was on the US.
The small problem with Ukraine should feature in any EU-China talks.
´Oh China, you´re cozy with Russia. You know, that country that´s trying to kill our Ukrainian friends. That´s the same Russia that´s cosying up with the US. Have you considered telling that Russia to GO FUCK ITSELF and apply sanctions? Like… dropping Russia like a hot potato?’
Yeah, I´d talk with the Chinese.
Since when did everyone start calling people Tsar. I was hoping this shit would die out after calling the Kamala Harris “the border tsar” for a while.
The fuck is wrong with this tsar bullshit that we hear everywhere ? Can we stop? It’s lame as hell.
What’s up with suddenly every subject has a tsar?
If they accept China’s call for joint counter tariffs and ignore the Canadian call for unity in the face of tariffs, I’ll be disappointed.
