Сhina seeks stronger ties with Europe, it says in meeting with Portugal’s foreign minister

1. If I had to ‘pick a poison’ from the world superpowers it would definitely be China, seems to be the least harmful to peace and it has done so much to make our lives in the west easier. I just have to look around my bedroom and see the number of things that made in China to see that 😅

2. This is the obvious and dumb conclusion to Trump attacking his allies and while jerking off Putin under the table. If you attack your allies and threaten them economically, you just drive them into the arms of those that will take them, even if they aren’t naturally allies.

3. Unfortunate, but if Trump wants to antagonise and threaten Europe with tariffs, then Europe would need another trade partner, as would the also tariffed China. Shame, really.

4. No surprise there. China knows Europe will need to find more trade deals as a buffer against a coming trade war with the USA. They smell an opportunity.

   Just a week ago Erdogan smelled the same opportunity as well, as I’m sure most of the world does. I just hope this isn’t a sign of teetering on the edge of collapse.

5. Oh boy. When USA turns away from Europe and starts turning to Russia to make it cut its ties with China, China turns to Europe. 

   But in the news it’s just China paying a visit to its last member of Belt and Road (or something like that) initiative, and that’s it, nothing sensational.

6. I’ve always stated it as this.

   The US of A tries… and fails to sell ITSELF to the world. See coca-cola; see Apple, Facebook and Disney. Hollywood

   China instead just buys the world. They are absolutely more dangerous; hell, they own 80% of Football (Soccer) clubs in the world; 1/3 water/electricity companies in France. They singlehandedly destroyed the livelihood of millions by building new ports, overshadowing the old ones in place.

   Flipside, they won’t throw bombs so I’d rather have them. Kind of like the second world war. Rather a (Chinese) Russian in my belly than an American above my head

7. Curious to see how this will go, Europe is pretty different from a lot of the countries that China usually tries to get “friendly” with. Whoever comes after Trump is going to have a massive headache trying to undo these next four years

8. How would they embrace China? They already trade quite a lot with each other? I doubt militarily China would care about Europe.

   Europe wouldn’t join BRICS either because they are satisfied with the Euro and their own trade agreements.

   Europe was buying and still is buying massive amounts of Russian oil and gas even with the war in Ukraine, stronger ties would just be slightly more trade?

9. Nah fuck China. Don’t do it Europe. Just focus on yourselves. China is a villain as well. They’re just anti west and pro China. If there’s anything anyone can take from the way China, Russia, and the US are acting. It’s focus on yourselves get nukes and don’t invest into any other country more than your own.
