NATO allies are discussing

Which ones?

NATO officials are discussing

Which ones?

What a lousy article, you can't know if it's the proposition talked by the important people or some nutjobs from Baltics like usual in case of such idiocy, or maybe it's just a journo duck.

At least a lot of Swedish parties had an anti-China message for the EU election. Those parties are also very anti-infrastructure, so idunno, maybe?

tfw "rules-based international order" means we're allowed to break those rules whenever we want but our enemies aren't allowed to do the same

China never would have allowed these transfers to begin with. And if they did happen they would have been reversed with no recourse to the foreign investor. China has actually screwed foreign investors in a million different ways without any real response from the west.

Yes, they broke the rules the West invented and the West complains about. Now the West is breaking the rules, undermining their entire position that all nations must follow the rules or be punished.

The sheer ignorance displayed by these dimwits is truly astounding, as they fail to grasp the profound extent to which their economies are dependent on China in reality. It's akin to a pampered house cat that believes it reigns supreme within its domain, oblivious to the fact that its sustenance originates from elsewhere entirely.
