Agreed PolicyChina
Pragmatic relations with China combined with strong protection against strategic dependence and control of critical infrastructure.

China should be treated neither as an ideological enemy nor as a model for Europe.
Policy
- Maintain diplomatic relations and lawful trade.
- Diversify supply chains where excessive dependency creates strategic vulnerability.
- Protect critical infrastructure, defence industries and sensitive technologies from foreign control.
- Review investment in strategically sensitive sectors for national-security risks.
- Avoid dependence on China for essential medicines, telecommunications, energy technology or military-relevant supply chains.
- Resist espionage, covert political influence and imported social-credit-style systems.
- Cooperate in science and commerce where appropriate.
- Avoid unnecessary military confrontation where European security is not directly implicated.
