> China is also helping Russia destroy Europe militarily

This is a disingenuous framing based on the mere fact that China continues to do business with Russia. China also continues to do business with Europe and Ukraine, so one can just as easily argue that China is helping Europe destroy Russia. Have you seen the number of Chinese-made commercial-grade drones used by Ukraine?

China is "destroying European carmakers" as much as your local supermarket A "destroying" supermarket B. It's called competition. As someone else said, Chinese subsidies have already declined, way way before the EU tarriffs went into effect, and the EU and US can also decide to subsidize their carmakers.

China Is Cutting Off Drone Supplies Critical to Ukraine War Effort [1]. China is reportedly making drones for Russia instead, according to multiple intelligence officials.

Since when are "intelligence officials" considered reliable sources of facts rather than sources of propaganda?


Today you sell a country a computer, engineering software, books, chips and industrial machines, tomorrow you have missiles pointed at you designed using that computer and manufactured using that machines.
