    Yeah, stronger ties with China is really the obvious way out for Europe. It’s absolutely incredible to me that the EU is still trying to suck up to the US.

      That would require Europeans to acknowledge the damaging role of U.S. Imperialism, delegitimizing European participation in said imperialism among European citizens. Plus European Liberals are too proud (putting it nicely) to associate positively with an ‚autocratic‘ power such as the PRC. They’ve spent so long shitting on non-liberal projects that it becomes unthinkable to imagine any productive partnership with them that doesn’t involve either condemnation or confrontation.
