José Manuel Barroso urged the European Union to more effectively combat the growing influence of China. In an interview with Euronews, he emphasized the necessity of addressing its own problems rather than shifting the blame onto others.
Barroso noted the seriousness of the situation with subsidized processing in China and the trade conflicts between the EU and China. He also expressed outrage over China's position on the war in Ukraine, which he considers 'very difficult for Europeans.'
Europe should not be a kind of geopolitical teenager. We must become grown-ups, responsible for our own future.
I insist that this should be an alarm signal for Europe to do its own homework instead of shifting the blame onto others.
In light of José Manuel Barroso's statements, it is important for the European Union to truly focus on addressing the internal and external problems that may affect its future and geopolitical position in the world.
