"China's ambition is clearly to build a new world order with China in its center... A Russian defeat in Ukraine will not derail China's trajectory," Borrell stressed n a private letter to EU foreign ministers viewed by the Financial Times. "The EU must be aware that many countries see the geopolitical influence of China as a counterweight to the West and therefore to Europe ...
