I met a Chinese woman living in Japan yesterday, who was placed under house arrest for three months for what she wrote on WeChat. And now I'm reading about how Macron is promising to make France closer to China and more distant from the US.

I actually think European strategic autonomy is a good thing -- I don't think the EU should be an American security vassal. But damn.

Also, the way he talks about American decoupling from China is an opportunity for Europe to deepen economic integration with China is fucking nuts.
