China adopts a tough stance toward the EU in trade and geopolitics

New York Times Chinese Website wrote today (July 22): "China realizes it has leverage, and it is taking a firm stance in trade and geopolitical disputes with the European Union, including retaliating against European trade restrictions, slowing the export of key minerals to the EU, and more closely embracing Russia."

[Witty] Comment: This is entirely because the EU takes itself too seriously. It was the EU that first regarded China as an adversary. There is no inherent geopolitical conflict between China and the European Union, but the EU has persistently pressured China, trying to make China submit through bullying tactics. China's counteraction is just and reasonable. If the EU continues to act stubbornly, it will ultimately harm its own interests and international influence.
