this will probably hurt both sides, but it has to happen. The EU cannot afford to become even more dependent on a country that has an "unlimited partnership" with russia. The next decades will be full of troubles, so the EU needs to be as self-sufficient as possible.

in reality, it's all about national security. Europe allowed itself to become dependent on the US for security, dependent on russia for energy, and dependent on China for almost everything else. Trump tried to use security dependence against us when he was president, and will likely do so again if elected. Putin tried to use energy against us, and caused an energy crisis. And now China is trying to destroy the last industries in Europe, and make us even more dependent. So now Europe is finally waking up to the fact that all 3 dependencies have to end. Europe has to become self-sufficient again.

@Rainy-daze473 i got no problems with those kind of goods from China. If China decides to ban exports of mugs to Europe to punish us for supporting Taiwan, it's not gonna do much. But if China bans exports of something like anti-biotics, then we are in trouble.
