Right now you either give it to China or to the US.
China is not publicly threatening to invade the EU.
I think the EU needs to produce this themselves but right now they don’t and they don’t have any large, trustworthy allies.
so.. hand over your data to china to spite orange man. yes excellent move.
It’s not spite it’s just logical - US/Israel are a known bad actor.
China is also probably bad, but currently there’s no evidence they’re as bad as US/Israel
In addition to the more well-known stuff, China DDoSed Github because they were mad that two projects let Chinese citizens read non-propaganda news in 2015.
China is supplying Russia, which is attacking an European country.
Thus, from my POV that sentiment is BS.
China is an adversary in a panda costume.

except for all of the hacking and industrial espionage, e.g. Salt Typhoon
let's be clear: MAGA is doing everything they can per Dugan-esque playbooks on how to destroy US-EU relations, but don't pretend for a second that China is some magical bastion of human rights or fair, competitive practices.
