Deutsche Welle wrote tonight (August 2nd): "German media on China: Will Europe become a economic colony of China and the US? The German newspapers over the weekend continued to focus on the EU's submission to Trump's tariff pressures and the role Europe can play in an era of geopolitical rivalry. 'Die Tageszeitung' believes that although China's human rights situation is terrible, it is better to strengthen cooperation with China, which actively promotes green energy, than to submit to Trump, who tries to undermine the climate."
[Witty] Comment: Europe still secretly maintains the self-image of a "teacher of human rights," often making arbitrary judgments about other countries' internal affairs. At present, Europe is keen on enacting various laws, issuing a large number of documents, and holding numerous long meetings every week, but has made few achievements in promoting industrial upgrading and technological innovation. Looking around the world, European companies are rarely found among the top ten technology companies. Europe does not have its own search engine, smartphone, operating system, or social media giants like TikTok or Facebook, nor does it have a mature cloud computing infrastructure... How many more resources does a Europe lacking strategic autonomy have left to rely on?
