Europe and the vast overwhelming people of Europe will always side with the devil they know than the devil they really don't know, unfamiliar with demographically, culturally, and most of all don't look alike.
It's only these dimwitted self-proclaimed Asian/Chinese liberal geniuses a.k.a. self-hating hanjians that delude themselves to the point of even wanting the Chinese government to fail just for them to be accepted as pseudo white and enjoy European culture they're long fashioned and accepted as superior to anything Chinese.
There are still persistent naivete amongst the political elite, business elite, academicians that prying EU away from the U.S. is possible. That's Qing Dynasty like stupidity, combined with arrogance and ignorance.
