Foreign media: After being attacked by the Trump administration for four months on trade, security and social issues, the EU has shown favor to China, attempting to improve political relations through economic concessions.
In the face of pressure from the two major powers, China and the US, leaders of many European countries have called for enhancing their strategic autonomy, reducing dependence on the US in defense and technology, on China in raw materials and clean technology products, and on Russia in energy.

French President Emmanuel Macron also firmly supports the concept of "strategic autonomy".
