What a trash article.

Europeans already had a low opinion of Orange Man. That isn't news.

There was also no indication that Europe is actually turning TOWARD China, as the headline suggests. They may be forging ahead with deals that were already made before the pandemic hit, but there is no doubt that Europeans look at China with a much more skeptical eye than before.

Europe’s Face-Off With China

Positive views of China shrank in much of the EU last year, according to opinion polls. In Sweden, one of several European countries experiencing this new chill with Beijing, things have gotten so nasty recently that three major parties have demanded the expulsion of the Chinese ambassador to Stockholm, citing his public threats to Swedish officials, media and human-rights groups. “Some Swedish businesses now have to take into account Swedish public opinion: ‘Why do you do business in China, such a terrible country?’ That is quite new,” said Lars Freden, a former Swedish ambassador to Beijing.
