c) EU/US relations are all over the place. https://ecfr.eu/publication/the-cris...idens-america/ A small extract below:

Here you are, took 2 minutes....

EU sanctions against Russia - https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/p...kraine-crisis/

EU China agreement aims to;
  • improve investment for European and Chinese investors by creating investment rights and guaranteeing non-discrimination
  • improve transparency, licensing and authorisation procedures
  • provide a high and balanced level of protection for investors and investments, and;
  • put in place rules on environmental and labour-related aspects of foreign investment

Check out the huge list of anti-dumping measures in place - https://trade.ec.europa.eu/tdi/notices.cfm China features very heavily.

Of course, there have been proposals to put anti-dumping measures for steel against China for some time but these were vetoed by the UK. Basically, the UK sold Tata Steel in South Wales down the river.
