The us directly and openly tried affecting policies by blackmailing the ICC (if you don’t do x for us, we will do y to you). That is not the same as asserting influence. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but your argument doesn’t counter the point that dependency on US Tech is (right now) more risky than dependency on Chinese Tech.
I would argue we don’t need to pick or rank. We need to acknowledge that both (and Russia) are a threat to european independence and european democracy, and we need to act accordingly.
It’s not really relevant anyway, apples and oranges i suppose. You’re right - we need to understand the threat and respond to it. The articles narrative that we only have two options (be dependent on either Chinese or US tech) is false.

That is an Axel Springer medium for you. Leaving out facts, twisting the meaning of details. If I had anything to decide, outlets owned by that publisher would be added to the list of banned media in this comm.

Honestly, I find the chinese way much more dangerous because it’s much harder to detect. It’s soft power versus brute force.
I agree with that, if i had to pick who of those two is a bigger threat to the EU overall i wouldn’t really know.

Glad we can agree.
