This looks amazing! I love the choice of colors and the great synergy they represent

Tell this to India, in Europe the coal usage keeps dropping each year. They are on the very same planet as Europe is

Finally Germany not pandering to all the Chinese calls. Good that they’re not getting away breaking the European laws this time

That sounds too good to be true, were they really not taking any cuts from the payments too? If so, can you share the name of the product?

I still prefer the last 40 years of US history over the last 40 years of Chinese history

At least he learned that tariffing all the products, including those which you can’t produce domestically, is not the brightest idea

Nice distraction from Epstein files!

First of all I am actually curious what you think about this as you seem to have done some research on the matter, thanks for your reply!

Sure, would have been better to use the nuclear option 10+ years ago. Let’s see how we got there, to what you describe as a multi-polar world.

When China was taking over the solar industry, in which Germany invested tons of money, just so that China can steal the technology and make profit off that by selling them to Europe which was happily subsidizing them, killing its own industry (China did only subsidize domestically produced solars for context). Then came EVs - again, European companies were busy shifting production to China, sharing technology, and subsidizing all the EVs no matter where they come from again, Chinese included, while China would only subsidize Chinese EVs. Now France is busy exporting plane parts, so that Chinese Comac can build their own planes by scraping together European parts, and gradually replacing the European parts with Chinese clones, and then actually improved Chinese designs. Would be impossible if you just banned plane part exports to China and would delay they efforts for ages, but apparently learning from mistakes isn’t the strongest trait of our leaders. But who could think that sharing technology and shifting production to an authoritarian regime could eventually backfire?

Does this mean that nothing can be done and we have to accept our fate? No, Europe has still many strong sectors. Sure, not much can be done about solars at this point, but, as an example, banning plane part exports and stopping subsidizing Chinese EVs, would still greatly hurt the pace of further growth of the beast that we’ve raised. And Trump is on the same page with China, so if we sit down and talk together with the US, we can actually still do a great harm to the Chinese economy as two of the three biggest polars of the current day multipolar world. Let’s cooperate with Japan, South Korea, Australia and Canada on that, let’s bully India and Vietnam a bit which would love to get some western foreign investments, and China is screwed. Yes, we should have done that in 2016, but we were busy bailing China out when US finally started fighting them. I don’t get why no one did it before and why no one does it to this day.

Regarding cheap oil - China doesn’t need cheap oil anymore. They invented their own, alternative energy sources, and the falling global oil prices are partly attributed to the declining demand from the Chinese side. Their alliance with Russia is not an economic one because Russia barely has anything to offer for China nowadays, with their economy of a size of Spain. What Russia has is nukes, a similar authoritarian regime, a great network of spies, and a will of destabilizing the European continent, which China loves, as it keeps Europeans busy with Russia, and shifts the focus away from China.

Sorry, it’s the best article I could find on this topic on the internet. If you can find a better one - feel free to share though

Actual western sanctions and western companies leaving the country. They can only play hard now because of how West is so dependent on China for key manufacturing facilities

Most people in France, Germany, Italy and Spain would support UK rejoining EU, poll finds

Sure, but as an equal member, without special treatment, which won’t please current UK.

Asked whether Britain should be allowed back in on the same conditions it enjoyed when it left, including not having to adopt the euro currency and remaining outside the Schengen passport-free zone, the numbers changed significantly.

Only one-fifth of respondents across the four biggest EU members, from 19% in Italy and France to 21% in Spain and 22% in Germany, felt the UK should be allowed return as if it had never left, with 58-62% saying it must be part of all main EU policy areas.

In the UK, while 54% of Britons supported rejoining the EU when asked the question in isolation, the figure fell to just 36% if rejoining meant giving up previous opt-outs. On those terms, 45% of Britons opposed renewed membership.

UK is probably the biggest supporter of the US in Europe (along with Poland) and is not a part of the EU, hence not affected by the tariffs mentioned by the OP

Shame on some EU countries

And the UK too

Holding people who enabled this accountable won’t fix the core issue, there’s always gonna be someone in the whole EU wanting to make the same thing, even if you cut one of the hydra’s heads. Better to work on improving the mechanisms of detecting the operations between the Russian companies instead

Wait, wasn’t it 30% on China? I am lost

Don’t forget China
