A French university doesn't need to consult Hungary when reducing their dependency on US tech. Finland doesn't need to consult Czechia when deciding to invest more into domestic defense industry. And so on. The huge majority of dependencies can be eliminated without needing such consensus. It's a gradual process anyway. China didn't wane themselves off the US overnight. They still haven't entirely. See NVIDIA/ASML. Step by step, bit by bit.
