The China Shadow Over Brussels Belgium's Prime Minister Bart De Wever has issued a stark warning that the European Union's experience with trade and industrial dependencies has been a rude awakening, and they're only now beginning to grasp its implications for their future.
Specifically, he pointed out that India had warned them about this exact issue earlier, but they didn't listen.
European leaders would be expected to be more attuned to these concerns given the China factor, yet Brussels seems slow to realize that being overly reliant on a single, strategically powerful trading partner can have disastrous consequences.
