I keep getting second-hand embarrassment from Europe’s whining to China. It’s like there are no adults in the room there anymore.
it’s amazing they don’t realize how pathetic they look
Not sure there ever were. Most of European history is spoiled aristocrats and bourgeois having tantrums.
China to EU: “Sorry for making all your consumer products I guess. Have you considered getting good at economics?”
So I read the article and still don’t understand it. So the EU is stopping countries from exporting certain shit TO China but is also crying that China isn’t exporting to the EU as much? Or are they crying that China isn’t importing more from the EU than the EU is importing from China… After the EU put restrictions on what China can import?
Am I just dumb? lol
Either way… Cry more Eurotrash
Incredible stuff right. Like we decide what you get to import and we refuse to sell you stuff you’d actually want.
Seeing Usonia von der Lakai name here and the characteristical USA modus operandi of saying ridiculous nonsense day before of high-rank meeting, it’s probably USA again trying to pull EU into even more economical suicide by cutting them off from China.
That’s my impression as well. I think US would like to make Europe entirely dependent on US in terms of energy and manufacturing. This helps boost US economy in the near term, and results in further vassalisation of Europe. Since energy costs in Europe are now too high to do domestic manufacturing, and US manufacturing costs are far higher than China the difference will have to be made up by mass austerity programs across Europe. US will be very happy to tear down Europe’s social safety nets.
This kind of rhetoric is just to promote nationalistic sentiments. Not necessarily to address an issue.
