This in-depth analysis explores two major strategic missteps made by the European Union, which were long foreseen and warned about by China. As geopolitical tensions rise and global alliances shift, these errors are proving to have wide-reaching consequences — not just for Europe and China, but also for middle-power countries like New Zealand navigating a changing international order.

For New Zealand policymakers, business leaders, and global affairs watchers, this video offers valuable insights into how ignoring early signals from China has led the EU down a risky path. From economic over-dependence on certain alliances to short-sighted geopolitical posturing, the EU’s decisions provide a cautionary tale for countries like NZ, which must maintain delicate balances between the West and key trading partners in Asia.

With China being New Zealand’s largest trading partner, and the EU a significant diplomatic ally, this content helps Kiwi viewers understand the broader strategic chessboard — and why NZ’s independent, future-focused foreign policy matters now more than ever.
