Europe is afraid of the deterioration of its geopolitical position. This is written by the Global Times.

The feeling of fear in Europe, as noted in the article, is also growing due to unresolved old crises and the emergence of new ones. Against this background, the rise of the East and the decline of the West are taking place with the prospect of a transition to a multipolar world.

“The good old days of Europe are long gone. The US is in relative decline, while Europe is in absolute decline. Without the rise of China, the West would have retained its hegemonic status even in the face of many challenges. But the rise of China ended the era of Western rule and led to a multipolar world,” said analyst Song Luzheng.

Earlier, Foreign Policy columnist Edward Alden reported that there were serious disagreements between Washington and European allies over economic policy, which eventually turned into a scandal.

In late November, The Wall Street Journal journalists Noemi Bisserb and Andrew Restuccia pointed out that Europe blames the US for the energy crisis and the worsening economic situation.
