EU aligning heavily with China is a fantasy.

You really think EU is going to ally with China over japan, south korea, philipines, and Australia?

You really think Russia's current number 1 ally is all of a sudden going to be best friends with EU?

China and North korea are ACTIVELY supporting a war in Europe! China has openly threatened Australia. There are literal north korean troops shooting Europeans right now. Who is north korea's number 1 supporter?

They said "to be politically and economically equidistant from the US and China".

I don't see any mention of being "best friends" with China. It's not like if the US was exactly a "friend" at all these days.

Again words vs reality.

Reality is that China is openly suporting a war against europe. But words give leverage against US in negotiations.
