The EU threatened China with sanctions package that was even bigger than those on Russia if China made the wrong decision.
can EU survive that package tho ?
And who the F is Europe to tell what China can and can't do with respect to her domestic and sovereign territory.
What's the worst the EU going to do? How many divisions does EU military have? If these lemons are going to make threats they better know how to follow it up with credible force that none exist.
They are smoking crack if they think that's possible. Virtually everything they buy is either made in China or made with Chinese components. That's just exports, for every multinational European organisation China is their biggest market. Imagine what would happen if Volkswagen surrendered their share of the Chinese market like what happened in Russia.
I don't think they can survive long term with the sanctions on Russia, with China its game over for them.
I am not aware of that. I mainly based my assessment from articles like this one.
Not all are from diplomats but they are widespread general cringe at least in English.

Words matter because they have the power to greatly alter perception of reality. Anyone looking at this list who still denies there is a problem is basically coping and lying to themselves.
I looked back the "greater than sanctions" was about the impact on the EU itself. I remembered the headline from yesterday incorrectly.
But yeah I wouldn't be surprised China did a SMO the EU would also sanction China in a emotional hissy fit like they did with Russia.
This week has been the most entertaining week for me this year so far.
So much entertainment, I went through 3 boxes of Kettle Corn.
