A Europa não pode aceitar a sua marginalização política

The upcoming APEC summit in Shenzhen highlights Europe's potential marginalization in global politics, as key leaders like Putin, Trump, and Xi Jinping may meet without European representation. This situation reflects Europe's past assumptions about prosperity equating to influence, while other regions invest in technology and strategic capabilities. The EU's absence from APEC and its limited role in the G20 contrast sharply with its historical influence. Despite facing economic challenges, Europe remains a significant global economy but must overcome internal obstacles to assert its strategic capacity. The potential trilateral meeting signals a need for Europe to strengthen its political unity and international presence to avoid being sidelined in crucial global discussions.
