CNBC: China made a ‘huge strategic blunder’ in retaliating against Europe, former U.S. negotiator says
* China imposed sanctions on 10 European Union politicians and four other entities in March.
* Beijing was retaliating for Western sanctions on Chinese officials accused of severe human rights abuses in Xinjiang.
* In response, the European Parliament last month paused the ratification of a new investment pact with China until Beijing lifted sanctions on the EU.
China made a “huge strategic blunder” when it retaliated against Europe by imposing sanctions on EU politicians, former top White House trade negotiator Clete Willems said.
Beijing’s actions killed a major investment agreement between the European Union and China, and the deal is “off the table now,” Willems told CNBC on Monday.

Hubris comes before the fall
And one thing both the Chinese and Americans have in common is being full of themselves.
The Chinese are the 1.x billion strong underdog, eagerly claiming their rightful place under the sun, much like nazi Germany back then.. getting help from lots of international companies and famous people.. just like back then people didn't want to offend rich and powerful and rising nazi Germany. The Lebron basketball character swooning over China was some chemical plant owner or theatre star or sports star back then..
It all repeats itself.. remember on which side these ghouls were. WHILE the Chinese push blindfolded people into trains. WHILE they have forced sterilisation programs. Lebron James sided with them. For money.
These ghouls must be punished just like nazi collaborators were punished. The companies siding with China. Sell their stocks. Boycott their products.
History will remember which side you were on. WHILE the Chinese released a virus. WHILE they made trillions of our misery.. buying up property in the aftermath of the pandemic they caused. WHILE they threaten the invasion of Taiwan and the nuclear annihilation of the continental USA.
Those ghouls sided with China. For money.
Remember each and everyone and their parent companies and brands.

Agree 100%. However, with China owning the western news media, and western academia, the chance of any meaningful boycott or punishment of the China enablers in the USA is about .000001%
