The China-US tensions are not going to get better, and, in fact, will get worse as years go by. More and more nations will be forced to choose sides. It's not good and I'm not sure what a resolution even looks like.

Perhaps having to take a side in this is not necessarily a negative? Better sooner rather than later.

From a EU/UK perspective there’s no good coming from it.

It’s like being caught in a fight between your drunk uncle and your berserk cousin.

There is definitely good coming out of it for the EU.

Europe does not have to align with either side. It is a superpower in its own right if it gets its shit together (one can dream).

I think it needs to be a stronger political entity in its own right for that. EU foreign policy is hamstrung by very different foreign policy objectives of member states.
