Brussels recently penalized Google with an €890 million fine for antitrust violations related to search results and app developers.
Clashes between the United States and European Union are becoming the “new normal” with competition over tech regulations at the “core”, according to an analysis published by a leading Chinese think tank.
“The transatlantic alliance, once rooted in shared values, is increasingly yielding to hard calculations of interest,” Guo wrote in an analysis published on the think tank’s official social media account on Monday.
“When the unified values holding the bloc together are torn apart and double standards prevail, empty narratives can no longer restrain self-interest. Once real-world demands collide head-on, the alliance will ultimately fall apart.”
Last month, Brussels hit Google with an €890 million (US$1 billion) fine for illegally favouring its own services over rivals in search results and restricting app developers.

- Will other US tech companies face similar EU fines?
