Not that long ago. The former NATO Czech president more or less suggested the west should put Russians in concentrations camps. Exactly why China needs enough nukes to turn every part of NATO Europe and America into a radiation wasteland.
US is meddling in Taiwan election from the get go. All candidates need to indoctrinate before getting any blessing. After that, the US would signal which candidate it prefers. Maybe the US should just appoint the president of Taiwan. It would save a lot of money.
The most controversial French idea is that the EU should open a probe paving the way for tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. The main European fear is that Beijing can use lavish state support to churn out unfairly cheap vehicles that can flood the EU market at a speed and scale that threaten the EU's own e-car production.
The European Commission is discussing whether to launch an investigation that could allow Brussels to impose additional levies, known as anti-dumping and anti-subsidy tariffs, on such cars, two senior officials POLITICO.
Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton said he was "very much in favor of opening a dumping investigation into electric cars as soon as possible." The European Commission had no further comment.
The electric vehicles probe is not the only anti-China offensive that the European Commission's chief trade enforcement officer, Denis Redonnet, is exploring: Brussels is also considering its first case under a new international procurement instrument against Chinese medical devices, three EU officials said. Brussels earlier this year that it was “ready to deploy” the tool for the first time in 2023.
The goal is to push China into opening up its public procurement market by threatening to close the EU’s own highly lucrative public tender market in retaliation.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen earlier this year in Beijing that medical devices “are being excluded from the market by discriminatory ‘Buy China' policies,” which is a longstanding concern of European industry. In addition, Brussels is also looking into the Chinese rail industry, two of the officials said. On Thursday, a French economy ministry official said the idea of potentially imposing tariffs on Chinese electric cars is “in line with our position: no naivety and fair competition.”
Translation: The US will pick which side wins.
Lots of Taiwanese media also reported that Rosenberger's visit to Taiwan is related to Blinken's visit to China, this article is basically indirectly announcing the "presidency of ROC" is up for sale. Here is how I think the convo in China will go down on Sun/Mon.
Blinken: How would you feel if we install KMT's Hou in office next year?
Qin Gang: Reunification would probably be delayed for four more years.
Blinken: How would you feel if we install DPP's Lai in office next year?
Qin Gang: There is a good chance of reunification in the next four years.
Blinken: How woud you feel if we install TPP's Ko in office next year?
Qin Gang: Who the **** is that?

Huawei has already been paid for these products they’re gutting and it will additional time, labor and resources to replace and reintegrate into communications network. It basically guarantees de-industrialization as they already have an energy cost penalty and this mistake will make them fall further behind in the 4th Industrial Revolution.
To be honest, I think EU has lost their chance at the 4th industrial revolution the moment they cut themselves off from Russian energy. You really can't reason with people that is willing to destroy their own future and prosperity. Cooperation and trade is based on a transactional relationship, thus you can't reason with people who is willing to destroy anything and everything of theirs that is of value.
