La Spagna difende i legami commerciali più stretti con la Cina dopo che gli Stati Uniti hanno messo in guardia dal “taglio della gola”

I do not trust China. I don’t like their policies or their methods.

But I like even less who explicitly threatens my country and the EU.

This is what Trump and his morons have achieved, congratulations.

Edit. Add this for clarification.

“Speaking at the ABA event, Bessent cited comments from a senior Spanish government official who suggested that Europe should more closely align with China, saying, “That would be cutting your own throat.”

I mean, yes, but that‘s rich coming from the US lol

Last time I checked, Spain is an independent country and doesn’t need to justify its policies to a third country located on another continent.

Shortly after the CCP hacked Safeguard Defenders and encouraged a coup?

Spain…. what are you doing?

Europeans may literally be the dumbest population on the planet. We got burnt badly for aligning too closely with Russia, we’re getting burnt badly for aligning too close with the U.S., and now we’re repeating the same mistake with China.

We seem utterly incapable of learning from past errors. Dead continent.

Imagine telling another country what they can and can not do. Someone needs to put that moron administration in their place ASAP

Speaking of cutting your own throat, how’s that trade war coming along?

China is supporting Russia and calling their aggression on Ukraine “Ukrainian crisis” an is a bully to its neighbours, morally Uyghur Genocide makes them no less evil than Russia.

If Spain wants to indebt itself to China it’s free to, but it’s going against European interests, supporting our enemies and giving China a foothold in Europe.

Since we are hearing out nutcase countries, what does NK think about it?

Im with Spain. China has not tried to fuck us over. Us freeloaders and peasants would make a fine duo. Lets not delude ourselves into thinking the US is our allies anymore. We are bags of money to them, thats it. Good riddance.

I wholeheartedly support this. F**k the USA and f**k Donald Trump.

The US telling Europe not to trade with China while doing billions in trade with China is peak do-as-I-say energy. Y’all aren’t the main character anymore, let it go.

I just read the stupid Trump administration described as a toddler with a loaded gun. I thought it was an accurate metaphor.

Who would be in any kind of relationship with that, if they had absolutely *any* other option?

I really don’t think that turning to China in face of US betrayal is the best strategy. It’s just changing an undemocratic and imperialist boss for another. China is and will try to push their cheap products until your own local economy can’t compete and you are bound to them.

We should strive for an independent EU, we have the money and the population to be a superpower, we should act like one.

Spain needs to buy from China to help with the influx of Americans buying anything that they can, in order to get out of their failing democracy.
