China’s People’s Daily urges Europe to correct cognitive bias

TREE NEWS update: China’s state newspaper People’s Daily published an article urging European politicians to abandon a ‘triple positioning’ of China and the ‘de-risking’ narrative, warning that ‘China shock 2.0’ rhetoric erodes mutual trust. It argues that normal market competition should not be framed as systemic rivalry, and that interdependence is not a security risk. Europe’s industrial anxiety should not make China a scapegoat.
