Calling it the economic equivalent of 'sinking your own ship,' French economist Christian de Boissieu has warned European nations against cutting ties with China. 🌍💼 The emeritus professor at Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne University told CGTN that cooperation between powers like France and China creates mutual 'win-win' benefits, while decoupling would leave both sides adrift.
'We’re in the same boat – collaboration isn’t optional, it’s survival,' said de Boissieu, comparing global trade to a high-stakes voyage. His comments come as debates about supply chains and geopolitical alliances dominate headlines worldwide.
Young professionals and entrepreneurs, take note: This warning underscores why interconnected markets matter. For travelers and culture enthusiasts, it’s also a reminder of how economic ties shape everything from tech innovation 🚀 to cross-cultural exchanges 🎭.
