you are assuming this is 1950s which is not. and your second assumption of this de risking will have no impact. even low to mid level manufacturing can have substantial impact on employment. look at Mexico.
de risking is Europe policy now. It does not matter whether they are actually implementing but they have confidence in there ability to tell every one about de risking. the response to de risking is clarification about partnership. this sending a weak signal. Others like Japan and Korea also visiting Gulf Arabs and they have alot of influence in Africa to make and break things. didnot Macron gone quiet after riots he was very enthusiastic about visiting South Africa. i think Arabs can make a way for him.
Japan basically acknowledge Saudi are sole leaders and they have practically no interest with others which are not part of new Europe. If this new Europe is successful others will have to follow. watch that video that i posted. why would they tolerate anything that has worked against there historic role?
You know what my friend.
I don't think anyone has any idea what you are talking about. Seriously. Just a couple of counterpoints, and that's it.
I am thinking about the future, and you tell me it not the 1950's that I should not make that assumption it is the 1950's.
Since I am not a European history expert, but still I know the general outline of things. France and Germany decided to embark to develop relations between them, so that nothing will get between them and repeat disastrous wars. That seemed to me to be the 1950's in Europe, the rebuilding of Europe, with the partnership of France and Germany at the center, and importantly the harmonization of policy.
Did you notice that the countries in Europe, France and Germany policy towards China more or less the same?
And the other important point about de-risking or de-coupling, that is a big non-event, like the trade war.
Furthermore, ASEAN is China's biggest trading partner, and as of today, China's trade with the global south already exceeds that with America and Europe combined.
If Europe de-couples from China, who will even notice? China with growth at 5% this year, while Europe stagnant as ever. Given the growth of China, and the global south, and the low growth of America and Europe, Chinese trade will continue upwards, regardless of Europe or American de-coupling. It is just the math.
De-coupling is not reality. De-coupling is just self-flattery.
Did you read that story about the British? They more or less de-coupled from China, yet they had the government commission a report that stated that China wants to attack them or something like that. Haha! What for? Like they are that important?! Haha!
