Germany must not be “naïve” about the “very real” risk of China invading Taiwan, one of Berlin’s top economic advisers has warned. Monika Schnitzer, who leads the Council of Economic Experts, said the country must reduce economic ties with the world’s second biggest economy to avoid “a real moment of conflict” if Xi Jinping sends troops onto the island.

And let me guess, must become ever closer allies with the United States.

Funny how all this EU democratic “plurality,” “democracy,” “tolerance,” all leads to one inexorable conclusion — America should rule the World.

You realize that there is significant drive in the EU to become less dependent on the US? They are trying to bring chip building over here and there are even efforts to build an EU army so that the US doesn’t have leverage here

I don’t realise because such a drive exists only in your dreams.

America is guilty of everything they accuse China of. It’s projection.

I hate america as much as every sensible person does but america has concentration camps, locking people up solely because of their religion, rapes the women, steals their organs, arrests people who report it, brutally beats down protesters and have elected their dictator for life? I mean I al sure america rapes inmates in their torture camps, I doubt they steal their organs and do all the other stuff

I do remember the Japanese camps, and I also remember the people of color who are imprisoned in slave-like conditions for many years for minor misdemeanors (or, what should be ones).

I also remember the systematic killing of people of color by the police, who are protected by the state via qualified immunity.

Do victims of American murders in the Middle East not count?
