The EU demands chinese companies partner up with european companies to get european public sector funding.
China has been demanding for decades that european companies partner up with chinese companies for any access to the chinese market, be it in goods, labor or public funding.
Why is it fair if China does it and not when the EU does it?
Your framing presents the bailey of China as a different side from the capitalists, your answers are retreating into the motte of “both are capitalists and I as a working class individual don’t care which elites profit.”
I think that might be why you get the question over and over again, because you answer to a different position than that of your initial framing.
Possibly - I did consider writing western capitalist/chinese capitalist and chose not to for brevity. It’s okay, though, it spawned some productive conversations, I think. Sorry for snapping at you, I was getting sleepy at that point too, had a nap now <3
What contradiction?

I’m exhausted of replying to this question again and again. Just read through any of the comment chains for the answers you seek.
