Finally, some common sense. Europe has its own economic interests and geopolitical position to navigate. Blindly following the US on China would be detrimental to many of our key industries, especially Germany's automotive sector and tech. We can't afford to alienate a massive market just because Washington says so.

It's more complex than just 'not following the US.' There's a delicate balance. Europe wants to reduce *dependency* on China, especially in critical raw materials and specific tech, but a full 'decoupling' like some US hawks advocate is economically unfeasible and strategically unwise. It's about 'de-risking,' not severing.
