European Union needs China like Internet Firewall says a EU policy paper

This article is mostly based on this quote:

> 5.1. European Cloud / European Internet

> The EU should include an action plan for a digital cloud – a European Internet – in the DSA. This European Cloud would foster a European digital ecosystem based on data and innovation. It would drive competition and set standards. Foreign web services could become part of such a digital ecosystem but must adhere to the rules and standards of the EU – such as democratic values, data protection, data accessibility, transparency and user friendliness.

> Technologically, it would require a top-level infrastructure, high-speed 5G or a 6G data network and a firewall. Setting up such a network would promote many European companies and therefore boost business and drive innovation.

> Like the Chinese firewall, this European internet would block off services that condone or support unlawful conduct from third party countries.

Maybe the link could be changed to that, as I suspect the tone and style of that website is offputting for many people.

I have already predicted that all the large markets (North America, Europe, China and India) will essentially close themselves off because they want to become self-sufficient in all aspects, including internet platforms.

Only North America and Europe will allow (limited) access to each other's markets because of the historical ties.
