Yep, the EU is China's biggest Westen project/experiment for now.
But many Nations within the EU don't need much coaxing from China to return to more Authoritarian, serf v Master, non-democratic methods of governance. Democracy was only ever on weak trial in many of these States post World Wars. But you can see it in their every posture and in their inability to disguise arrogance, that Empire, Emperors, Kings and Dictators is still their preferred models. Thus why neo-21st century 'Chineseism' is so attractive. All the productivity, none of the messy individual freedoms.
