the eu just committed suicide. china can ban import of german cars with combustion engines, collapsing their auto industry. germany currently exports something like 1/3 of their cars to china. every porsche sold in china was imported. china is the largest market for german cars, and their biggest profit source. germany's biggest industry is the automotive sector, which also includes huge global oem suppliers like zf and bosch. chinese counter-sanctions can literally erase 10% of the germany economy overnight.  this affects the eu, as the german economy is the biggest driver of eu funding for pigs, refugees, ukraine, etc. take germany down, and the rest follows.  the question is whether china is prepared to collapse the german and eu economies in retaliation.
