US: curbs semiconductor exports to China
Europe: curbs lithography machine exports to China
China: curbs drone exports to Europe
Europe is entering the "find out" phase of "fuck around and find out." This is what shoving a knife into the back of globalization in the name of national security gets you...
Not that China's semiconductor competence would have affected European security given that China has neither the means nor the desire to project power outside of their immediate vicinity.
China is exertng their economic power in Africa nation building all the time. Their nuclear arms stockpile is fastest growing. China make a habit of stealing IP so much that companies stopped sharing prottypes for years as they would be taken at the border for security checks and returned with the deal myateriously disappearing from the "private" company
Exerting? How? Are they threatening sanctions like the US? Are they forcing "structural reforms" on them like the IMF?
Says who? Last time I checked the US stockpile is more than 10x larger still.
