‘DIVIDE AND CONQUER’: CHINA EXPLOITS EU DIVISIONS OVER TRADE

China is exploiting divisions within the European Union over trade, according to analysts, making individual member states and companies vulnerable to coercion from Beijing. This development highlights the challenges the EU faces in presenting a unified front against China's trade policies. The situation has significant implications for EU-China trade relations.

Analysts, as reported by the International homepage, suggest that China's strategy is to 'divide and conquer', taking advantage of the differing interests and priorities among EU member states. While specific details on the extent of China's exploitation are limited, the description notes that individual member states and companies are particularly vulnerable. Related coverage indicates China's growing influence in various sectors, including AI and green energy.
