'In 2022, the EU imported a stunning $672 billion in goods from China, a figure nearly 3x higher than its exports to China. The issue is that the EU cares more about short-term trade than it does about its long-term security & values,' TomRtweets writes.
Meeting Xi Jinping in Beijing on Friday, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez was reminded that his political obedience is the price he must pay for China's beneficence. There could be no more stark contrast between this form of feudal mercantilism and the U.S. vision for an international order centered on relatively free trade and capitalist competition.
Here we see Beijing's familiar play to French President Emmanuel Macron's"strategic autonomy" doctrine. That doctrine seeks to situate the EU's foreign policy in distinct separation from the traditional trans-Atlantic alliance. China thus loves the doctrine, as it excuses EU deference toward Beijing as serving some broader if undefined strategic purpose.
