Typical false dichotomy - the correct answer is of course the 3rd option: an independent Europe. Is Macron really so ignorant?
China is on the way to become number 1 - but do not wake up U.S. policymakers!
The following graph from the above article is an underestimate of Chinese car exports in 2022: 3.1 million. But it shows you the trends.
Modi supporters are really innovative!

Bruh, you are thinking that the West has a coherent strategy. Well, maybe they do, and perhaps Sweden burning Koran and insulting Erdogan while begging Turkey to let it into NATO is some sort of 6D chess move too complicated for us simpletons to understand.

Just look at how Toyota or Honda have been running their US operations. Take together, US market is not yet a profitable proposition to the Chinese auto makers.
Does anyone know more about these Chinese companies?
