The EU is its own worst enemy

The European Union's European Parliament has voted for a tougher stance on China, labeling it a "decisive enabler" of Russia and describing Beijing's industrial policy as an "existential threat". This move reflects a hardline approach, which may strain relations with China. The decision has significant implications for trade and diplomacy between the EU and China, potentially affecting global markets and economic ties.

Why it matters

The European Union is taking a tougher stance on China, which could lead to increased protectionism and trade barriers. This move may benefit certain EU industries, but could also lead to retaliatory measures from China.
