On June 3, 2026, the European Commission released the EU Tech Sovereignty Package. Taken together, its constituent measures represent an effort to reduce reliance on US and other non-EU technology and digital services and to ensure the development of a domestic, low-carbon lifecycle for cutting-edge digital technology. Currently, the EU is heavily reliant on non-EU digital products, services, infrastructure and intellectual property. Among other things, the package aims to further onshore semiconductor manufacturing in the EU, incentivize the development of a domestic European AI industry, provide incentives, including on the demand side, for chips and other technology, and reduce reliance on foreign countries for critical infrastructure and technologies. The package is composed of two legislative proposals (the Chips Act 2.0 and the Cloud and AI Development Act) and two initiatives (the EU Open Source Strategy and Strategic Roadmap for Digitalisation and AI in Energy).

Chinese espionage in the European Union and neighboring countries reveals its full scope when certain pieces are connected. The May 20 arrest in Germany of a German couple of Chinese origin who were taking military-technology information from universities is a particularly notable case. But it is only one of many. The episode exposes a strategy of large-scale, coordinated infiltration when placed alongside other arrests in EU member states and neighboring countries. In total, around 30 agents and collaborators have been uncovered in Europe and its vicinity in just the past two years; some were arrested, several expelled, and others are awaiting trial. China typically denies all espionage allegations and describes them as slander.

So why are we always asking adults?
