European Views on US-China Relations and China's Global Influence
A new report by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) shows that 74% of Europeans believe the Continent should cut its military dependence on the US and invest in its own defensive capabilities. The report, based on a poll with 16,168 respondents from 11 countries, also shows that majorities in every surveyed country want Europe to remain neutral in any conflict between the US and China over Taiwan. The report highlights that Europeans want to see the EU become more self-reliant in foreign policy and build up its own defensive capabilities.
