Donald Trump is a question of a long time to avoid Europe in the second tenure in the White House: if it is time to stick to the alliance with the United States, or the chart of a new course – maybe to the east? Say?
In April, Chinese President Xi Jinping urged Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanghez to resist the European Union against Washington’s “one -sided forces”. This force is not limited to trade only; It is expanded to politics, culture and global strategies. For Europe, this question is not just whether the US is a powerful associate or not, but whether it is still right.
The close relationship with China now gives different benefits-the EU-China Summit is likely to be discussed in the July month. China has been cautious, but as shown by recent rates targeting low cost imports from platforms like Temu and Shein, the strategic reflexes in Europe are still in the United States, especially the finance and protection. The birth of history, this reflection is decreasing from the growing steps with the long -term interests of Europe.
The United States has pursued global goals: to preserve its place as the only superpower in the world. But under the leadership of President Trump, the US world leadership has taken a dark turn. Basic democratic principles are decreasing. Human rights, educational freedom and social justice have been in constant assault. Trump is actively claiming the US funding for Israel’s destructive attack on Gaza, to vanish the US funds – to extinguish the US funding of the United States to the newly launched war on Iran, collective deportation and university financing.
China, of course, has its own challenges. It does not have a press freedom, the sensor disagrees and strictly controls the public discourse. But is the Democratic West still different? In information dominated by a handful of tech billionares, the theory of misunderstandings and conspiracy increases by considering serious public debates on platforms like X and Facebook. The treatment of viscellows like Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden has indicated that now the truth itself has become a threat to what happens instead of what is the foundation of American democracy.
Europe should also face the economic and political models shared with the United States. Democracy, once the source of pride, acts as a growing conceptual cover – by some people and rules. Trump has given the tangible form of the menstrual cycle and has been considered a barrier to the storage of CLC without the democratic criteria. But in this he is not alone. On the whole of the west, wealth is growing in a growing amount and politics has raised the needs of most of our people.
The difference between foreign transactions in Washington and Beijing also draws attention. China has placed a foreign military base in Jibuti and a handful of small support outposts. On the contrary, the United States operates more than 750 troops around the world. The huge position can soon serve the idea of Trump’s revival empire: Palestine residents have recently shared a video as “Riviera of the Middle East” after saying that Palestine residents would be rehabilitated elsewhere. Meanwhile, China opposed such a compulsory displacement and confirmed Palestine’s right to resist a foreign business.
China is also a growing attractive destination for education. , More than 000,4 universities are serving more than 1 million students, its system is wide and accessible. The teaching ranges from 1,500 to 3,000 dollars a year, compared to 000 40,000, charged by many American organizations. Universities like Tsingua are gaining global recognition for high-cost research. And when these organizations operate under strict censorship, they are a serious alternative – especially in the US campus, the students now face the suppression, visa crackdown and increasing political interference.
So, why can the European Union remain for the coalition as its values and interests are increasing?
The truth is that Europe is not yet a politically universal. It does not have a integrated economy, military, tax system and labor market. From the north to the south, the west to the east, the volume is broken – linguistic, culturally and politically. French president Emmanuel Macron spoke about “European sovereignty” in a 2017 speech in Sorbone. But in Europe, this is still the case: the ability to independently evaluate its interests and form a coalition accordingly.
Unless it is a reality, any discussion of moving the coalition is – even if it is an urgent – a large number of theoreticals. China is ready for the new era of cooperation. There is no semicircle by internal section and expired loyalty. Yet Trump’s America is doing everything to make the final choice for Europe day by day.
