China's double-barreled sanctions attack on the EU on Monday means the landmark Beijing-Brussels trade deal is now on life support. Furious at being targeted by Chinese sanctions on a day of high diplomatic drama, prominent European parliamentarians are threatening not to ratify the EU-China investment pact sealed in December.

What a difference three months makes. Late last year, Europe's top leaders such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron raced to secure an accord with Chinese President Xi Jinping, hoping it would make life easier for key EU investors in China such as carmakers.

But relations have soured unexpectedly rapidly since then, partly over increasing concerns about China's crackdown against the Muslim minority in Xinjiang.

Chinese and European relations have taken a sharp downturn over the past few months after what seemed like headway towards a landmark trade agreement.

Now that China doesn't have Trump on their ass, they are free to screw with the rest of the world...especially since Biden's handlers won't **** with them.

What an utterly nonsensical post.

This story is about the EU and China suddenly clashing over a potential trade deal, just days after the US and China got into a sparring match at a diplomatic summit, and you think that this is a sign China suddenly at free reign?

It's very fitting you run away everytime someone brings up the failure of Trump's unilateral approach to China.

You must mean in their ass. They did their best for him to win. They were unsuccessful luckely.

The only reason China and the EU were talking is because they both were targets of Trump. With Trump gone, China doesn't need the EU...they have Biden. They proved that when they badmouthed the US with impunity.

The world will rue the day they got rid of Trump.

So, Why did China want Trump to win the election?

They didn't.

If someone told you that, they are lying to you.
 
:) You need to start paying attention.
You need to use your brain.

Trump has been a pain in China's ass since the day he was inaugurated. The last thing they wanted was for him to get re-elected.
 
They didn't.

Here is an article for you, it is from october, but you seem to have missed it so. Then again, you had to read articles from outside the US to get the picture.


Until this year, Beijing’s private preference was for Trump to win a second term. The damage that Trump had inflicted on American global leadership was seen as beneficial to China. Also, China did not believe that Trump bought into the Great Power competition narrative, and that in fact he acted as a check on the real anti-China hawks in his administration.

This is retaliation for recent sanctions on China by the EU and US (Biden admin). Basically relations between China and the West just soured more than they have in decades.

Trump wasn't interested in going to war with China, but he certainly was interested in getting China to give up the seven deadly sins. China did everything they could to avoid that and they knew that Trump had more punishment up his sleeve for them if he got re-elected.

They DID NOT want that to happen.

Again...don't believe the liars.

lol

They were talking because Trump's piss poor leadership isolated Europe.

They proved that when they badmouthed the US with impunity.

You call sanctions impunity?

Ooops, did you mean to say one of our main allies was a target of trump?

The Chinese aren't afraid of Biden.

Of course. Dude...didn't you ever listen to a word Trump said?
 
The Chinese aren't afraid of Biden.

And you think they were afraid of Trump?! lmao

Yeah, I'm sure Trump terrified them when they ended up signing the largest free trade agreement in the world.
 
Of course. Dude...didn't you ever listen to a word Trump said?
I listened to many of his words even covfefe. By the reactions of our allies they too must have misunderstood the then prez? He was laughed at in the UN. Yeah, I've listened to much of what our ex president said over the years. The republicans have an extremely bad habit of creating huge problems where none exist. The border is the perfect example. Now that a democrat is president the border in out of control again. Most americans disagree with that idea.

And yet, for all your Trump-hating spin, you still have no idea what Trump has said about the EU or what he intended to do about them.

That's okay. You...and them...will get reminded after the 2024 election.

Is the eu our enemy? Do about them? Use nukes on them? Trump might not be around in 24 but if he is, I hope he wins the republican primary to be candidate. Lost the house, lost the senate, lost the white house. Are you tired of winning or do you need more?

You see? You don't have a clue what I'm talking about...or what you are talking about.

You are wasting my time.

You are dismissed.

By the way, you are another who accuses me of my hate. Please show me once where I said I hated anyone, anyone, just once. Your hatred for us dems is showing again.
 
The Chinese aren't afraid of Biden.
They aren't afraid of Biden, they are afraif what Biden represents. A united West working in unison again. Something we haven't seen for four years. Suddenly it's not just the US but the EU, Canada and UK too all sanctioning China at once, like we saw a couple of days ago. That's what China is afraid of.

Useless sanctions. Doesn't bother China one bit.

The EU kicked things off with sanctions that target four Chinese nationals and one entity. The U.S., Canada and the U.K. -- chairing the Group of Seven meetings this year -- largely mirrored these actions that are largely symbolic and unlikely to impact China’s economy or behavior.

And how did China react?

Rather than backing down, China has upped the ante. Following the European chastisement, Beijing said it would sanction 10 individuals and four entities on the EU side, saying the measures “harm China’s sovereignty and interest” and weren’t based on facts.

Useless, symbolic actions from both sides...doesn't mean a thing...blah, blah, blah in both directions. They play their useless game and you think, "Oh!! See how tough we are now?" LOL!!

Use your brain. If you seriously want China to change their ways you have to do one or both of two things: Start a war and destroy them or start an economic war and destroy them. Trump knew this and was taking the second route...until the Globalists put a stop to him.

Now the world is back to business as usual and the Globalists are back to cultivating power and money. (And the sheep are back to their contented grazing.)
