High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell urged Europe to play a role in thwarting a confrontation between the United States and China, Report informs via TASS.
"The global system is in danger of fragmentation, of splitting into large blocks, one around the United States, the other around China. In other words, the creation of two different, disconnected technological ecosystems, and the potential danger that this could degenerate into conflict. It is also the role of Europe to avoid such a confrontation. Whatever one may think of China, the country cannot be ignored on major global issues such as climate change or the indebtedness of poor countries," he said.
What Borrell said was "technological rivalry" with China and the EU’s dependence on the country was the most important issue.
