> The eu - just recently, sold out its agricultural sector

1. The EU-Mercusor deal does not impact European ag in any shape or form, and much of the nativist ag discourse in the EU has been disinfo driven for years [0].

2. I clearly pointed out how the EU now has a China sized market that is paying China level prices for luxury vehicles while purchasing at Chinese luxury volumes without Chinese competition.

> Everything is on the table and everything has to go

Then go right ahead. All the barriers I pointed out are being implemented despite Trump's actions in Greenland. If the US and China are resorting to wolf warrior diplomacy, there's no point seriously engaging with either.

Either China respects the EU's positions or the EU can work with other middle powers to build both an ExChina and an ExAmerica ecosystem.

Interesting how this is yet another brand new HN account pushing this kind of narrative. 3rd time in two weeks [0] after pointing out the EU doesn't have to negotiate with China as a junior partner.

Your link proves nothing and isn't even about the Mercosur. It's about Russia exploiting farmers unrests. It has no explanation or anything really about the impact of Mercosur on European agricultural sector.

I'm convinced that importing cheaper food from south America where they don't even have a minimum hourly wage not have to follow the European regulations will kill the sovereign European agricultural sector.
