    Well, who actually does do that? The US a bit, but mostly for their own interest in a few important strategic topics. The rest of the world, including the EU pretty much continues as usual, so why should Switzerland of all countries start antagonising China?

    I mean I’m all for not involving our self so much with China, but if this happens it has to come as group effort. If only a few countries start, they just cripple their economy while the other countries profit.
