When the PLAAF intercepts foreign aircraft the pilot always says that "this is the Chinese Air Force".
There're also plenty of footage and recordings from SCS where the PLAN identify themselves as "China Navy" to foreign forces.
EU and US teaming up to counter China on the steel and aluminium sector
The EU has (as always) surrendered to the steel tariffs imposed to it by the US, and has decided to NOT retaliate (=surrender)
EU as always the kid who whines after getting beaten up by a bully and promises to take revenge but it shuts up when the bully returns for a 2nd round

"sustainable" + "like-minded nations" = counter China

They want steel and aluminum to replicate magnesium sector too? They say inflation is too low?
Things always have two sides. One is the raw force, the other is the facade/diplomacy/legality. Although raw force is the deciding foundation as the saying goes "one can not gain anything on the negotiation table without gaining it from the battle field", most of the time people fight equally hard (as in the battle field) at the table for the legality of their positions, after all the difference between human society and the jungle is that a piece of paper has a great value.
I was trying to say (and I believe that you agree) that both Qing's effort on the negotiation table in 1850 and PRC's raw power in 1980s are irreplaceable in China's effort to recovery Hongkong.
There is no problem with that, in the same manner as "China" is interchangeable with "People's Republic of China" in most of the occasions. But officially it is only PLA and PRC.
Apparently geopolitics follow prison style rules: only race matters
Obviously. There is a reason why people from the Global South just say "West/White superiority" than bother to differentiate between US/Canada/EU/Australia etc.
They are all the same
Just remember that last year China made unilateral concessions to the EU for CAI. Well the fault China made was, as you say, that it believes in pragmatic hard-hitting geopolitics/geoeconomics.
Instead it is all about white superiority for the West
Its more cynical than that, say it works and they crater China, the US will just then turn on the EU and swallow the EU whole...
In this new paradigm of the ever-shrinking negative-sum game where Pies get smaller and smaller, this is a Squid Game type of last man standing... there will only be enough room in the lifeboat for one winner... China better play this smartly
