Europe just got tough on China. Now its Trump's turn
While the headlines are filled with President Donald Trump’s comments on Ukraine and Russian diesel, another issue went under the radar in Europe: Europe is taking a tougher stance on China. While Russia is the more obvious threat to European security, China should be taken seriously as well. If the West wants to retain its hegemony, the United States and Europe must work together to counter China.
TL;DR
- Europe is adopting a tougher stance on China.
- The European Parliament voted overwhelmingly to adopt this tougher stance.
- This vote signals a shift in the European bloc's approach to China.
- Europe is experiencing China's exploitation of open markets while China heavily regulates imports.
- The United States and Europe must work together to counter China if the West wants to retain its hegemony.
