The EU foreign policy needs unanimity, and some of the governments (mostly Hungary right now) will not allow it to take positions against abusive dictatorships.

So it'll be many years before the EU becomes a foreign policy power.

The EU has a lot of domestic problems it is trying to address. It is in no position to try to deal with China.

China is also Germany's second largest trading partner. France and Germany basically head the EU, so it's very unlikely that the EU will take a strong stance against China until this changes.

Britain and the USA 🇺🇸 needed Russia to break the last axis power. This war will be economic but will be far more global than previous wars.
