Borrell's comments came during his trip to China, where he emphasized the need for China to stop viewing Europe as a vassal of the US. He warned that if imbalances persist, 'de-risking' may speed up. Borrell's message was reinforced by other European voices, including Reuters, which reported that the EU takes China seriously and expects the same in return. The Financial Times also highlighted Borrell's call for China to treat the EU as a 'geopolitical power.'
