Ursula von der Leyen clearly attemp to transform the EU in a weaker US version with her attempts at institutionalizing long arm interference and sanctions. These behaviour is called sanctions in the case of white westoid applying them. China applying sanctions is called 'economic coercion'. We should just accept sanctions without doing anything because white westoid rules based world order.
EU could agree to new sanctions on Chinese firms next week, diplomats say
accused of funnelling banned European goods to the Russian military could be agreed as early as next week, according to diplomatic sources.
Eight companies based in mainland China and Hong Kong are on a draft list of entities accused of reselling European chips and microelectronics that can be used in high-grade weaponry, such as cruise missiles.
Some EU capitals are uncomfortable with the idea of replicating the long-arm sanctioning techniques of the United States, but there is also conviction that third countries should not be providing loopholes through which European goods can reach Russia’s war machine.
A more contentious element of the package is a new instrument that would allow the EU to restrict certain exports to an entire country as a last resort, where it is deemed to have consistently flouted sanctions and where diplomatic efforts to resolve the situation fail.
Failure to agree on this tool has delayed the passage of the latest raft of punitive measures. Germany has proposed restricting shipments to entities instead of countries. But even if it was adopted, diplomats said it would be more likely to target Central Asian and Gulf countries rather than China.
