社评：“双重标准”正在反噬欧洲

Group 1 - The EU views China as a "rival" while relying on the US as an "ally," leading to a paradox where Chinese investments in infrastructure are met with forced divestment, revealing a strategic weakness in Europe against hegemonic pressures [1][3] - The EU's plan to phase out Chinese-made equipment in critical infrastructure, including telecom networks and solar systems, lacks solid technical justification and undermines both bilateral trade and European legal principles [1][2] - The EU's shift from voluntary restrictions to mandatory laws under US pressure indicates a tightening grip on market interventions, which could lead to increased costs for consumers and hinder Europe's green transition and digital upgrade [2][4] Group 2 - The US's aggressive tactics, such as imposing tariffs and making territorial demands, have not earned Europe respect but rather intensified exploitation, highlighting Europe's submissive stance [3] - The EU's inconsistent stance on market principles and political interventions reveals a hypocritical approach that risks damaging its economic environment and market access [3][4] - The trend of "decoupling from China" positions Europe as a pawn in the US's quest for global technological dominance, limiting its own technological choices and independence [4]
