So the more Americans and Moscow grow closer, the more Europeans and Chinese align as well. Interesting development.

Are they still torturing the Uyghurs?

Boo! Boo for the CCP and its genocidal regime! We don’t want them here!

No business with criminal regimes!

Nice we will get fucked again

People are fucking idiots who support China. These fuckers are most genocidal country and goverment in the world. Theres no free-speech in china, you get killed for critizising the goverment. They wanna continue their cheap trade to save their asses from US tarrifs. To sell their cheap shit made by slaves to get rich from it. They are literally harrasing their neigbours like Vietnam, Taiwan and Philiphines with their militaty ships ramming into fishing boats. Sending 1000 of illegal fishing boats across world to kill coral reefs and cut underwater internet cables. They even posted proudly month ago they built anchor that cuts undersea cables.

We should be as cautious of China as we are of Russia. While Russia is aggressive in its political espionage, China is covert.

After all this, EU gives money/support to Ukraine?
What is our goal, do we have it at all?

People in the comments need to stop jumping to conclusions. The woman on the photo is a Czech MEP, Markéta Gregorová, who’s critical of China.

She comments on her social media (instagram) that she didn’t expect much from this EU-China meeting. She asked them on their „neutrality“ and „support for Russia“ and the Chinese delegates blamed everything on NATO and EU expansion.

She says it was worthless.

Ugh, Putin 2.0 moment.

1st we get cheap gas and oil from dictatorial oligarchs in Russia. Now we want to entangle ourselves with subsidised Chinese exports and dictatorial commies.

We should be working with counties that have a good track record when it comes to respecting human rights, rule of law, freedom of press etc.

The only reason to freeze relations with China is because the USA wants us to. It is of no benefit at all to the EU.

The argument that we should cut off relations because of Russia is ridiculous. It’s the opposite in fact. China is very pragmatic, and it knows that a relationship with the EU is far more beneficial to it than a relationship with Russia. If Europe opens up to it, with the condition that it abandons Russia, Russia’s main economic supplier disappears overnight.

However that is not an option for China right now, because it knows the EU isn’t a possible major partner to it because of pressure by the USA, and making such a leap would require confidence that not only has the EU thrown off the USA’s pressure enough to commit to not block off China, but that it would also continue to do so in the middle term.

I’m not saying the EU should trust China or that it should even depend on it the same way it currently depends on the USA. I’m saying it should be an independent actor with co-dependencies on a bunch of world powers so that it isn’t entirely dependent on any one of them. That’s how you get close to „independence“ in the modern world (true independence, self-sufficiency without foreign trade, is practically impossible, just look at North Korea which keeps trying and has recurring famines every few decades).

Trump should get Nobel Peace prize.
After all, he achieved unthinkable – united the whole world. Everybody is suddenly BFF, when other alternative is Trump

As they should meet, China owns a lot of property in Europe and are buying more every day. They need to get rid of what’s left of the manufacturing sector in Europe. With tariffs, China also needs new markets for dumping cheap goods. Call me cynical or whatever, downvote all you want, but this will make China richer and Europe poorer. China is out for China. They will not defend democracy. Their support of Russia in Ukraine should be ringing alarm bells.

With only 1 women between all the men..

Yes, this is a landmark but there is still a long way to go.
