Former European Parliament member Clare Daly didn’t hold back in a recent interview, calling Europe’s push for anti-China tariffs economic "shooting ourselves in the head." 🎯💥 Emphasizing the EU’s reliance on China as its top trading partner, Daly argued that escalating tensions through "de-risking" strategies hurts Europe more than it helps. 💼📉
"We need global cooperation, not isolation," she stressed, pointing to urgent issues like climate change that demand cross-border teamwork. 🌱🤝 With China leading in green tech and renewable energy investments, Daly warned that alienating Beijing could stall progress on shared goals.
Her message? Ditch the "new Cold War" mindset. 🔄 Instead of rhetoric, she urged a focus on international law and diplomacy to ensure stability—and avoid a lose-lose scenario for everyday Europeans. 🇪🇺❤️🇨🇳
