Made in Europe: Der EU-Plan, der China verärgert hat

China seems angered when the EU does absolutely anything

if eu wont have USA umbrella they can be bullied by other easily like china and russia, eu need USA but they keep trying to be bratty about that.

„And China says these kinds of requirements would breach World Trade Organisation rules and global agreements relating to intellectual property.“

The absolute audacity of China complaining about intellectual property rights and WTO rules is genuinely laughable!

For the last three decades, the Chinese government has explicitly forced every single Western company that wanted to do business there to partner with a state owned firm and hand over their tech secrets. That was the mandatory price of admission to their market. Now that Europe has finally woken up and decided to apply those exact same rules to Chinese EV and battery makers, Beijing is suddenly throwing a temper tantrum about „protectionism“ and „fair trade.“

Europe spent way too long letting China hollow out our manufacturing sector with heavily subsidized steel and solar panels while we naively clung to the idea of a free market. If we want to keep any real industrial base or green tech innovation inside the EU, forcing foreign companies to actually build things here and share their know how is the absolute bare minimum we should be doing.
