Europe should depend less on China for technology and show it has learned its lessons about relying too much on a single supplier, as it did previously with Russian oil and gas, Denmark’s prime minister has warned.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Mette Frederiksen urged Europeans to change “our attitude, the way of looking at the world, which is based on peacetime”. Instead, she called for greater awareness of Beijing’s role in allowing Russia to extend its invasion of Ukraine into a third year.
“I don’t think it would be possible for Russia to continue this full-scale war and at the same time work as they are doing in other areas of the world without being helped by China,” Frederiksen said.
