Erm - there is such thing as the concept of strategical industries. And it is neither a European thing or a modern thing either, but don't let that stop you from spouting a narrative where Europe is the bad guy in an international landscape where they have transferred voluntarily or not such much technology to China.
- paganel 1y agoAlmost everything can be seen as strategic.
- notmyjob 1y agoThat’s a rather weak retort. Certain things like uranium and pharmaceuticals are pretty obviously strategic while other things like dog food are not.
- paganel 1y agoMilk and yogurt certainly are, also bread, also lots of food stuff. As far as I know almost no country has gone isolationist on that (with a few exceptions, such as China, which is at least trying). One can win a grand war without access to uranium, but you need access to bread and milk if you don’t want to repeat Germany’s WW1 fate.
- nosianu 1y ago> Milk and yogurt certainly are, also bread, also lots of food stuff. Which is why both US and Europe protect and subsidize those sectors to a fault.
- paganel 1y agoEurope isn’t a country, and unfortunately my country (Romania) would be left empty-handed in case of the worst (this pandemic has proved it).
- nosianu 1y ago> Europe isn’t a country You don't say! Completely irrelevant, since agricultural policy for the EU is made by the EU, and individual countries then write their local laws accordingly.
