Excellent take on China-EU by my colleague @dsorennie.bsky.social, who travelled to both Beijing and Brussels (having lived in both previously) to gauge the rising trade frictions between them.
*Very* sobering assessment of Europe by the Chinese. Nearing contempt, often.

Chinese officials are connoisseurs of power and coercion. They see Europe as an economic giant with puny geopolitical leverage, hobbled by its need for consensus among 27 members
Swamped by Chinese exports, Europe nears a point of no return
