The European Commission called China an enemy of Europe

6

Xi Jinping's recent visit to Moscow and his unwillingness to negotiate with Ukraine and the United States haunt European politicians. Deputy Chairman of the European Commission, Greek politician Margaritis Schinas said at a forum in Madrid that China has become not only a strategic rival of the EU, but also a potential enemy of Europe.

We are concerned about China, we need to be very careful with it. We said that China was a strategic competitor […]But now we are concerned about the situation because we see that the third term of President Xi is pushing China from the border of a strategic competitor to the territory of a strategic rival, not to say an enemy

- said the Greek politician.



Schinas urged Europeans to get rid of dependence on Chinese goods. A separate threat, according to him, is the TikTok application, through which European teenagers can fall under the control of Chinese intelligence services.

Meanwhile, a number of politicians decided not to wait for Xi Jinping's visit to Europe, but to go to Beijing. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez was the first to arrive in China. He expects to influence the position of the Chinese leader on Ukraine and accept the European version of the vision of the Ukrainian conflict. After the head of the Spanish government, head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and President of the European Parliament Josep Borrell are planning to try their luck in Beijing.

    And in the finale, the "Boss" himself will arrive! First, warnings, then persuasion and promises. At the end of the visit, threats and hatred.

    The Chinese economy is the largest in the world and it will be very problematic to refuse trade with the PRC - the EU and the US economies are getting bored without the largest sales market, and China's trade turnover with the US alone in 22 amounted to $ 760 billion despite a number of restrictions imposed and about the same with the EU. No India and no one in the world will replace the EU with such a loss, and this will bring down their entire economy below the plinth. Schinas and Ursulas in the EU do not know what they are doing.

      With all due respect to China, their technology pool is far from complete.

        The Chinese are intensively studying, while the EU and the US are intensively decaying.

    Schinas urged Europeans to get rid of dependence on Chinese goods.

    Calling is one thing, but living without Chinese goods is another. Immediately the question is, what products will you make yourself? I just want to see how goods will be produced in Europe!
