If you haven’t noticed, I’m not living in the US so I’m not quite sure why you bring this unrelated third party to this discussion.
And, as you said, if “China is perfectly entitled to use geopolitical tools”, this also implies that EU is entitled to use all tools at its disposal to avoid repeating the Gazprom 2021-2022 fun, isn’t it?

@kravietz@agora.echelon.pl @solar_chase@mastodon.green The US isn't an unrelated 3rd party. It was until recently supposedly an ally and the co-guarantor of European security. Yes, the EU should use its own geopolitical power as it sees fit, though this hard to do given the nature of the entity. German purchase of Russian energy was always questionable but the effort to integrate Russia economically given German moral debt wasn't. It failed. That was not Germany's or the EU's fault and will accelerate decarbonisation.
