Despite Trump, Europe Should Not Flee into China's Arms
In this Spanish-language news article and its English re-print, Alicia García-Herrero explains dangers the EU faces in potentially rushing to foster deeper ties with Beijing while dealing with the impacts of Trump's tariffs.
In light of the difficulties faced by the EU in procuring masks and respirators during the pandemic, or the energy crisis brought on by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the EU should fully recognise the dangers of technological and security dependency. Despite the fact that Trump's tariff and security policies encourage the EU to diversify supply chains, rushing into the arms of China is unadvised not only because of that strategy's potential costs, but also because of its limited potential benefits.
