      It does seem like US very much wants Europe to decouple from China, and the EU leadership is fully onboard with that. They’ve already discussed seizing Chinese assets openly. US and EU have also been drumming up the narrative that China is backing Russian war effort to create a pretext for escalating the economic war.

        I agree with all of that, but there enough going on right now to get wound up about something that still theoretical. Particularly with the upcoming change in government in the US and the new regime’s lack of interest in continuing the war.

        The EU (not NATO) absolutely would do this, by order of the US. But it’s a bit premature to make videos about it at the moment in my opinion. Just a bit clickbaity I think. I thought there was some big new development.

          Fair, I do think the analysis was good, and I am expecting that he’s completely correct that Chinese companies will start divesting now that threats have been issued. You don’t want to wait and then have your assets seized. Better to exit on your own terms.
