Before 2014 Germany had the perfect setup. Cheap Russian energy. Polish factories. Expensive cars sold to China. The most dynamic economy in the world. Then America said: no more Russian energy. And blew up Nord Stream. Then America said: no more trading with China. Germany was not defeated by...

The EU has mastered one trick: When it wins, it calls it free trade. When China wins, it calls it overdependence. For decades, European cars, appliances, luxury goods, chemicals, machinery, and high-end consumer products entered the Chinese market. China did not cry that Europe was “distorting” its market or creating “dependency.” China competed. China learned. China upgraded. But the moment Chinese industries became competitive, Europe suddenly discovered “strategic risk.” Solar panels? Europe blocked and punished Chinese solar for years with tariffs and trade barriers. Did that revive Europe’s own solar industry? No. It only made Europe’s energy transition more expensive until it eventually had to reopen the door. Huawei and ZTE? Europe followed Washington’s pressure campaign, ripped out Chinese telecom infrastructure it had already deployed, spent more money, delayed its own networks, and called that “security.” Energy? Europe chose geopolitical obedience, cut itself off from cheap Russian energy, raised its own industrial costs, became more dependent on the U.S., and then watched its companies move across the Atlantic under American subsidies and tariffs. But somehow the problem is still China. Please. Europe’s crisis was not created by Chinese overcapacity. It was created by European complacency, American dependency, ideological industrial policy, expensive energy, and decades of mistaking moral lectures for competitiveness. Now Chinese industries are faster, cheaper, more integrated, and more efficient — from EVs to batteries, solar, electronics, ports, logistics, and manufacturing ecosystems. So Europe invents new language: “Diversification.” “De-risking.” “Overdependence.” “Fair competition.” But strip away the diplomatic costume, and it is just protectionism with Brussels paperwork. China did not force Europe to deindustrialize itself. Europe made its choices. It followed Washington. It sanctioned its own energy base. It taxed its own consumers. It slowed its own innovation. It lectured China while China built. And now it wants China to pay for Europe’s failure to compete. No. China-EU trade is not a charity program for declining European industries. If Europe wants competitiveness, it should build it. Not rename protectionism as “diversification” and expect China to applaud.

Blinken finally said the quiet part out loud: The United States cannot defeat China alone. So his solution is not to outbuild, outproduce, or outcompete China. It is to assemble Europe, Japan, South Korea, India, Canada, and Australia into a larger anti-China bloc—then disguise containment as “alliance coordination.” That is the entire strategy: America alone is no longer strong enough, so Washington wants to weaponize everyone else’s anxieties. But here is the darkest joke. While Blinken dreams of mobilizing the world against China, global opinion is moving in the opposite direction. Pew polling now shows China viewed more positively than the United States across many countries. Even in Europe—America’s traditional alliance base—China’s favorability has risen above America’s. So Washington has a structural problem: It wants to lead an anti-China coalition at the exact moment more of the world trusts China than the country demanding that coalition. Blinken calls this “working with friends.” China calls it what it is: An empire that can no longer win alone asking its clients to supply the missing weight. America’s alliances were supposed to prove its leadership. Now they increasingly reveal its dependence. China is competing with the United States. The United States is recruiting the world to compensate for the fact that it cannot compete with China by itself. Yet the funniest meltdown did not come from American rednecks. It came from overseas Chinese opportunists who built their entire identity around hating China. Blinken merely admitted that America cannot defeat China alone, and they immediately accused him of being “brainwashed” and spreading “Chinese propaganda.” Their problem is not China. Their problem is that China’s rise has destroyed the psychological mechanism they depend on for survival: the belief that America must always stand above China—because without that hierarchy, their entire borrowed identity collapses.
