          Imagine a label actually saying “100% China free production”, “100% Russia free production”, “100% US free production”, because that means it is more eco-friendly and less slave-labour etc

            Like in Hungary, Italy, And Germany, nations famously not on the edge of fascism (again) who never had free speech or freedom of the press in the first place.

            But hey, the monarchies are doing better, and nothing says democracy like monarchy.

                The potential decline of American rights into nearly being as bad as the average, non-French European state is a concern, of course.

      “First-world production”. I can establish loyalty to any product made without slaves. Also, I consider the US an enslaved population at this point. EU, Canada, Japan, UK, Australia and New Zealand are my A-tier. Probably South Korea too.

    Sometime in the future we should also include countries like Australia, South Korea, Canada, and others. Although, for the time being I hope the focus is to extend trade partnerships - especially finishing the FTA with Australia and a new one with ASEAN, that’d make me very happy.
    This shouldn’t really be about some sort of euro-nationalism, but rather a pragmatic approach that allows us to best counter USA and China.

    The Industrial Accelerator Act is intended to bolster European industry against cheaper imports from Asia.

    In my head, Japan is sitting there wearing lederhosen as a disguise.

      Under proposals unveiled by the European Commission on Wednesday, access to subsidies in clean technology, heavy industry and carmaking would be granted to manufacturing in as many as 40 trusted partners including the UK, provided they offer reciprocal access to EU-based manufacturers.

      It’s basically a trade agreement.
