translated: their products are too good so we need to urge governments to buy inferior products from europe just because we're scared

usa has time and time again weaponized our dependence on them. china doesn't really have an incentive to do so

eu and european countries should just invest in things like electric bus production and buying them would come naturally without any pressure. everyone for example is buying swiss stadler trains cus they're just so good and reliable

Gouvernement funding based in targeted economic plans and cheap labor are not superior products.
