The United States is enlisting Europe in what it sees as a new World order emerging with China as an adversary. (Politico)

The War in Ukraine was apparently a wake up call for the EU in their slumber when it came to China and exactly how to deal with an emerging power that has risen so quickly from obscurity to a World power. The threat posed by Russia is far more real to Europeans today as they see one of their neighbors being invaded by Russian forces and brought to its knees. That begs the question that Europeans now must ask themselves, will Putin stop at Ukraine? He has indicated the answer to that question is no. How far will China go in helping the Russians? These are now very prescient matters.
