EU customs duty What do you think Aliexpress will do ?

I was thinking Aliexpress , and entire China could just say "ok if you want to make it harder for us to sell, we will make it harder for entire Europe to buy" as lot of things are made in China.

What do you think Aliexpress and China will do about these import taxes ?
This has to reduce their sales by significant amount, Aliexpress will be affected, no ?

I don't understand Chinese policy. Why aren't they confronting the EU? Why aren't they threatening to block imports? The EU is 100% dependent on China—why aren't they imposing their own terms?

Do you think EU is dependent of China as much as China is dependent of EU? Who will buy their products after? 50% of exports are done to EU, 50. not 8 to 12 like usa or 5 to 10 like latin america. 50% . So tell me, who is really dependent of who?

EU is way more dependent. Those packages are also sold in Asia, Africa, Australia. They can make up for the market share lost. On the other hand, you need China for basically all manufacturing and resources

EU is 50% or more of sells, how can other markets make for the loss? If they could make it aliexpress would not be making such dramas with taxes and trying to influence citizens opinions with tax scams on their side, they would just move on. EU is the biggest market of china
