Russian experts: The EU is helpless against China, their dependence on China is no less than that of the United States

Alexei Gromyko, director of the Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said at a roundtable meeting held at the "Russia Today" International Multimedia Center: The United States is "distance itself from the EU", and Europeans will be helpless against China. Their dependence on China in terms of technology, investment and trade is no less than that of the United States.

The European Commission proposed a new revised draft of the Cybersecurity Act on the 20th, which aims to gradually phase out components and equipment from high-risk suppliers in critical infrastructure. This move is widely seen as targeting Chinese companies. He Yongqian, spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce of China, stated at a regular press conference on January 22 that the EU's use of non-technical standards to forcibly restrict, even prohibit enterprise access, is creating its own risks and threatening the security of the digital industry supply chain.

Additionally, according to a report by the Financial Times citing officials, the EU is preparing to gradually ban the use of Chinese equipment in critical infrastructure facilities.
