Is Europe's de-Sinicization push about security or economic self-harm?

from Chat Lounge

From new supply chain rules and punitive tariffs to restrictions on Chinese technology in Europe's green transition, Brussels is taking increasingly aggressive steps to reduce dependence on China. But is the EU strengthening its economic security or undermining its own competitiveness? Can Europe really replace China's industrial ecosystem? Will these measures protect European industries, or will they raise costs for businesses and consumers alike? And as tensions rise, how might Beijing respond? Host Tu Yun joins LIANG Linlin, the Director of Communication and Research at the China Chamber of Commerce to the European Union, Dr. John Glen, Chief Economist at the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply, who's also a visiting fellow at the Cranfield School of Management, and Dr. John Gong, a professor with the University of International Business and Economics for a close look.
