>You'd be surprised just how lose money can sit in Europe, I guess

Can you share which are those industries with lose money?

>EU is not authoritarian enough to randomly divert capital based on political orders like China

Except it seems it was authoritarian enough to manage to divert taxpayer funds for refugees, covid, Ukraine, etc in an instant when the shit hit the fan. But somehow for risky industries vital to domestic sovereignty, that's not possible.

I guess because there's not a well developed kickback industry yet in place for the latter as it is for the former, so politicians handing out the cash to their industry friends can't grift so easily, like they did in Covid for example, or at least not yet.
