I think Europeans don't understand why the recent escalation is necessary - it seems to have come from both directions (not just China) for no good reasons.
China has consistently tried to have a productive and cooperative relationship with the west. All the escalation consistently comes from western countries, and China is now increasingly starting to respond in kind.
