European governments are attempting to take a firmer line toward China, but internal divisions and economic dependence make a unified stance difficult. The analysis suggests the EU wants to reduce reliance on Beijing in trade and technology while member states pursue their own interests, leaving the bloc's China policy looking fragile and inconsistent.
