The government of China is sure the weight of Europe in the world arena is inevitably decreasing year by year. According to People's Daily, the Chinese Communist Party's direct mouthpiece, the EU should get used to supporting roles and its waning importance. The trade war between developing Asia and the Old World is in full swing. The Chinese solar panel sanctions imposed by the European authorities were followed by China's anti-dumping probe into EU wine. Besides the realm of economy, the information sphere is also an action scene. The Chinese mass media is going ahead with squelches and pledges to take severe countermeasures. However, despite all these public condemnations, a number of countries still take a relaxed look at China. As analysts suppose, China does not want to unleash economic warfare; as for the responsive actions, these are nothing but an adequate reaction to the EU's attempts to defend itself from international competition. One of the examples is China's anti-dumping investigation into European automobiles. It will primarily focus on premium-class cars such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferrari, but will also touch upon some other brands.
