I think this is a well reasoned take. We should cooperate with China on the issues where it's mutually beneficial since the EU can't provide all the things we need (goods and markets). We should demand China retract their interference tentacles as part of this cooperation, as well as independently work to cut them off ourselves. Our current posture where we parrot US'es "China bad" talking points probably counterproductive on that front. Carney's recent rhetoric could be useful for some voting blocks and I suspect that's why it escalated. I think he'll probably reset the relationship if he wins the election and establish some boundaries and red lines.
