Trump: dump china if you want to be my friend
EU: no thanks
China: Finally, I've wanted to be friends for so long
EU: no thanks
That would certainly be a good way to play it.
But really- the EU doesn't want to alienate China too much, because the time could easily come when having China at their back is the only thing that saves them from being spit-roasted by a US/Russia alliance.
It's a sad world where you always have to consider your actions to not escalate toward a new world war. Things went from okay to bad really quick.
Totally, then shouldn't be rude about it but it looks like to me they want to keep some safe distance from both the coming years. Maybe pull a Switzerland if it actually comes to ww3, but let's hope not.
