How important is Chinese tech to Europe?

Europe is reversing its approach to China, tightening rules on trade and investment, and pushing back on Chinese tech. So what’s behind the change in policy towards one of the EU’s biggest trading partners?

China was at the receiving end of the full brunt of the Western combined forces, led by the U.K., France and U.S. during the First Opium War (1839-1842), the Second Opium War (1857-1858) and the Eight-Nations Alliance (1900-1901). The Opium Wars were triggered off by China’s resistance to the sale of opium to its citizens by the foreign powers. The addictive opium was the main source of exports pushed by the West in order to alter the balance of trade with China in their favour. China was forced, at gunpoint literally, to sign unfair treaties. These unequal treaties (signed during the 19th and early 20th centuries) between China and the U.S., the U.K., France, Germany, Russia and Japan, were one-sided requiring China to legalise opium import, cede land, pay reparations, open treaty ports, give up tariff autonomy, and grant extraterritorial privileges to foreign citizens. Fast forward today, the demand for Chinese products again outstripped China’s appetite for products that the West would sell to China. Underpinned by China’s substantial comparative advantage, the Chinese manufacturing products of comparable or superior quality are a lot cheaper - all made possible by China’s huge domestic market, comprehensive industry chain, well educated and highly skilled labor force, and their relentless pursuit for scientific and technological innovation. What China has achieved had ostensibly rattled the U.S., the E.U. and Japan who see themselves as the industrial kingpins, especially in the automotive industry and other high tech sectors. Not only had China emerged as the world largest producer and exporter of automobiles, it has also fortified its position as the new kingpin in the new energy and communication technology. Truth be told, the delicate economic relationship between the so-called Liberal West and China is still very much trapped in the imperialist psyche of the former. The West wants the cheap goods produced in China. They also want to dominate the huge Chinese market. But at the same time, they are fearful of China’s ability to innovate and ultimately leave them in the dust. It is a convoluted love-hate feeling so to speak. But caught up with the West China did. It is now the new industrial and economic superpower. It is already the world’s largest economy by purchasing power parity. “China’s post-pandemic surplus in manufacturing - which has now reached about two percent of world GDP - far exceeds the peak surpluses run by export powerhouses like Japan and Germany. More importantly, China’s surplus shows no signs of shrinking. While there was a pause in the expansion of the surplus in 2023, that only came after a huge jump between 2018 and 2022. And now, Chinese policy continues to emphasize upgrading China’s capacity in advanced manufacturing as a major driver of future growth,”said Michael Weilandt, and Volkmar Bauer of Union Investment, and Brad Setser. Clearly, to Washington the greatest leverage against its new found peer competitor will have to come from a collective approach involving its allies - accompanied by a collective, coordinated, and sustained effort - to isolate and to deny China the access to advanced and cutting-edge technology. However, such belligerent denial strategy not only had failed to work, but it had actually speeded up China’s push towards innovation and technological self-reliance. A case in point is Washington’s ongoing efforts to strangle China’s semiconductor industry thinking that the latter still lags behind the global semiconductor industry by approximately ten years, as Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger had posited. In 2019, the US requires Huawei, and other manufacturers to apply for permission to buy technology from the Commerce Department. In October 2022, the U.S. went further by banning foreign manufacturers, such as Dutch ASML, by far the largest manufacturer of photolithography equipment, from supplying to Chinese customers. A belligerent behaviour much to the chagrin of the like of Microsoft’s co-founder Bill Gates, who had said that the US would not be able to achieve the desired result and limit Beijing’s ambitions through procurement restrictions or sanctions. Washington thought that such sanctions would effectively left the Chinese without 5G chips. But by August 2023, Huawei had launched its new Mate 60 and other devices with its in-house 5G chips. Such belligerent behaviour was a clear case of underestimating China’s highly skilled labor force and its capacity for innovation and adaptation. Fast forward to 2024, China had successfully produced the 7nm and 5 nm chips. The U.S. orchestrated hostility towards China is reminiscent of the “Gunboat Policy”. But, this time, only to be disguised in ideological rhetorics, national security concerns, geopolitics, and threat of wars in both East and South China Sea; as well as the now infamous Janet Yellen’s so-called China’s “over capacity”.

Without the west, mao’s Id!otic policies caused the largest famine in man kind’s history. Today China claims to have eradicated poverty but then on the other hand claims developing country status with the wto, in effect forcing western countries to subsidize the shipping of their goods. They manipulate their currency to gain unfair trade advantages, steal the intellectual property of western firms looking to produce in china and then kick them out and profit from technology developed and patented by western firms through heavy investment, without incurring the investment cost of developing said technology.

unfair competition?

[@huanghermann5207]

What is behind this is the US interest. EU is hurting itself for the interest of the US, as it does in Ukraine war.

Her talks is not supported by facts and figures time and again. That surprises me a person in her position as chairlady of EU makes unconvincing remarks openly. Regretfully, the Chinese government has not pointed this out so far.

[@adonisabueva1018]

we like competition that we can win, but if we lose thats another story, we have to change the rules, that is how rule of law works.

You talk rubbish. Just because EU can't produce goods as cheaply as China, you blamed China is doing unfair trade. Of course you price your goods for 100% profits, the prices of EU goods are exorbitant.

The guy from Beijing is trying to play the race card and sell a pork pie also. But some valid points.

China did not ban it officially. They blocked it. Meaning you can still access it with certain apps and VPN. There are certain apps that allow you to use foreign apps in China.

[@michaelgothenburg364]

There used to be millions of posts on Chinese social media about 彭帅. Did they disappear because she is bad? You think it's right that they should disappear. We don't.

Volvo couldn’t cut it any longer and so specifies a Chinese company to manufacture an EV w/ their name on it to sell in Europe avoiding any tariffs. It’s a Chinese EV just w/ Volvo’s name on it. Will this be Elon Musks route for building a cheap EV for sale in America?

In what ways is competition from China unfair? Say!

[@bobsmith3983]

The West say it's unfair because the Chinese out competes the West which the US coins "overcapacity".
