Europe's attitude toward China has taken a sudden turn, attempting to revive methods from the colonial era.

Within just four years, Europe's attitude towards China has changed dramatically, and it has already taken on the posture of resuming its old colonial practices:

—— A few years ago, they were still saying "They are not our competitors yet,"

—— But now, it's "Hand over the latest technology!"

The EU is preparing to enact legislation requiring Chinese enterprises to hand over intellectual property rights in order to enter the European market, mainly targeting digital technology and advanced manufacturing. Another option for Chinese enterprises is forced joint ventures, which is almost copying the homework from the 1990s.

However, the difference is that usually the EU likes to first enact laws and then act, but at present, they have already started to take action by seizing things directly.
