Most likely something to push decoupling and that’s about all one should read into it.
Possibly something about certain companies trying to sell (old) chip making lithography equipment to China. Or anything else. The facts of global trade are that there is probably some components somewhere in Chinese military tech (not literally tanks necessarily [which were obviously chosen because of existing propaganda] but aircraft, comms systems, etc) that has some sourcing in Europe. I’m not talking finished products but materials, base components. And that if Europe cut them off from trade it would mean the Chinese would have to take the time to spin up their own production which could take years or lead to shortages in the meanwhile (or so the propagandist of this piece thinks anyways).
