We can do something. Stop appeaisng themn. Stop singing treaties with them, stopping this incredoibly irrepsojsible EU-China agreement that even in the EU raises growing discomfort.

Not doing any of this - that is what is hip currently. The Silk Road project of theirs must be stopped and sabotages, politically. There must be piotlical costs and prices for Wetsenr natiosn sellign major oarts fo their infrastructure and harbours to china, allowing them logistical beachheads in Europe. Ther emust be potlical costs for doign busienss withChina isntead of investing into becoming more independent form them.

There are things that can be done. But the backbone to do them, and the determination, is not there. Greed in the eye blocks clear long range vision. Fear fills the heart. Action gets drowned before it even starts.
