“We want to work on issues of common interest, promoting trade and investment in a balanced way to benefit the development of our countries from our respective visions, and we want to foster closer ties between our societies,” Sanchez told Xi.
Did they talk also about China’s support for Russia’s war in Ukraine? The transnational repression of exiled dissidents by China across Europe? The secrecy of agreements that leads to disaster like the one in Novi Sad, Serbia, that should make it impossible to held someone accountable?
The Chinese government is not interested in someone else’s interest. Even Mr. Sanchez will have to recognize that China is a threat to Europe, and it behaves so, not matter how much investments his country receives.
At the moment i think China is the lesser of two evils. Yeah, its not a democracy and China does things that benefits China, but it has one thing that the OTHER evil has lost recently: Predictability.
This is satire, right? Just because the US is becoming ever more like China does not mean that China becomes better. Europe must diversify and gain more independence without one or two large trading partners. Countries like Spain or Hungary are heading in the wrong direction, but there is much underway in Europe to achieve a higher level of autonomy.
