How the drama ends is open for the moment. In the best-case scenario, it will probably end with a half-hearted compromise, in line with EU tradition. In the worse with a deal in the Brussels backrooms.
But maybe everything turns out completely differently! The decision-makers should dare to take a look outside the fine offices, beyond the borders of the EU. Towards the Chinese, who wear a delicate smile on their lips. Polite, but deeply amazed at the naivety of the Europeans.
