Spain calls for EU to forge China policy without US https://archive.is/20250224180421/https://www.ft.com/content/65abc8b2-d290-490c-b143-3f98e116124e

The EU should have an own policy without the US (or anyone else) on any issue. It seems clear that the US isn’t a reliable partner anymore with the new Trump administration’s tariff threats and its backtracking on democratic values, the latter being more and more aligned with China than with Western democracies.
I am sure Mr. Albares is focused on both, the Chinese investments Spain has been receiving in recent years and the protection of universal human rights that are increasingly under threat in China.
this is a no brainer to be fair
The comments made by Spain are pretty clear about having a friendlier stance regarding China. By supporting Russia China is activly threatening EU security and that makes a friendly China policy not a reasonable option right now.
It’s important Europe plays its own cards on every aspect and specially on economics.
