If they had been less sinophobic, less russophobic, less zionist and pushed back more against the USA to guarantee Minsk 1 & 2 and the JCPOA then none of this would be happening, but everytime Israel/the USA commit barbarous and perfidious acts, they are always there to cover for them and side with them reflexively.

There is no conceivable geopolitical benefit for the EU to entertain notions of Taiwanese separatism or any other anti-Chinese talking point like the US. Absolutely nobody in Taiwan thinks the EU will help them, and I seriously doubt your average Euro could tell Asians apart anyways. They don't even lost out that much relative to the US once China becomes a hegemonic power. At least Australia gets the excuse that they're geographically close to China when the EU doesn't even have that.

But apparently the European brainpan can do nothing but seethe that they are being eclipsed by Asian countries they still think inferior despite being Asians themselves. The thought of being Asian is so revolting that they would rather larp as living on some fake continent and be pushed around by a bunch of even faker settler-colonial societies.
