Macron and Scholz aren't going to offer anything to China. You guys are far too rational and are forgetting the arrogance of western Europe. They're going to spend half their time insulting China by repeating nonsense about Xinjiang. Then, when the Chinese side is as pissed off as possible, they're going to ask for more market access and "fair" trading practices. The whole thing is a waste of time

Promises are worthless. Even if the EU promised it now to get something in the short term, there's no way to force them to follow through when the time comes.
Let's hope they never sign CAI, as that's a sweetheart deal for them and not so great for China. It was politically designed to give EU more economic incentive to form a separate pole apart from the 5 eyes, rather than for economic benefits for China.
Do you remember those thinly veiled threats against China when the invasion first started? They were talking about sanctioning China. Now because of 20% inflation they don't. The tragicomical part is China might have had enough influence on Russia to stop the war when the war was new. Now, there are too many sunk costs and China wouldn't be able to stop the war even if it wanted. The current European leaders are delusional fantasists, nothing more.
if these kind of negotiations had taken place before the recent ukrainian conflict, it would have been understandable for china to concede something in an effort to delay sino-european decoupling
these days there's no point trying to keep them particularly friendly at china's own expense, when taiwan kicks off they'll still sanction like there's no tomorrow
Que a State Department clarification very soon.
Thier bluff got called when syria gassed some rebels.
Yeah, with a collapsing economy and a rail strike in coming and with the USA using up there strategic reserves in oil to lower inflation to get by the mid terms and well basically a rapid de-dollarization taking place with the USA having no way of winning back other nations except causing trouble like an annoying little b!tch that refuses to knock it off, well all I can say is 'bring it on b!tch' and when everything falls apart in the USA, demand yuan for any chinese goods in the future and if the nation ends up becoming a combination of 'the purge' and 'mad max', well they should leave China the 'f@ck out' of that nonsense of there own making. Its their own fault for electing a man that clearly needs a diaper into office so now he either gets things fix or leave it to, I don't know, Trump to make America great again, I mean we all saw how that turned out.
