I thought the idea was decoupling from China, but the Swiss are strengthening ties?

Well, who actually does do that? The US a bit, but mostly for their own interest in a few important strategic topics. The rest of the world, including the EU pretty much continues as usual, so why should Switzerland of all countries start antagonising China?

I mean I'm all for not involving our self so much with China, but if this happens it has to come as group effort. If only a few countries start, they just cripple their economy while the other countries profit.

All the west is making headway towards it? Ths EU in particular is picking up steam in regards to its handling of China.
