Not they cannot. A DNS request in China is not targeting a European root but a local one. And that can affect a European citizen.

Seems like it's the job of the 'EU citizen' to not use foreign services if they don't want to use services which are not consistent with their own regulatory standards.

Which is exactly what we're doing, via our government (which is of, by and for the people).

Umm idk if I put 1.1.1.1 as my DNS which root is it targeting? The one in China? Or if I put 0.0.0.0 (IP of EU run DNS server backed by EU run root) then is it still China?

There is a simpler solution rather than enforcing EU oversight over root DNSes.

Cloudflare is one of the private operators of root servers mentioned in the article so you would be using the F root server.

Hence why I said 0.0.0.0 as a root DNS created and operated by EU
