Do not be afraid of retaliatory measures from China — the drop in oil prices does not concern them much, but the decline in their funds is disadvantageous, which, as you remember, they attempted to pump up twice — in October '24 and February '25.
The drop in oil prices is a problem for vassals; without them, China is simply a regional power.
China has a real problem — deflation and inefficiency in its economy; of course, tariffs force them to continue devaluing their yuan. But this is just a symptom; they need to negotiate with the USA more than anyone else, and even more urgently, they need renewal.
Europeans will not unite with China; it’s all a game of 'sell yourself for more.' Why won’t they unite? Because the European bureaucracy does not give opportunities even to local businessmen, let alone open their markets to China any more than they currently are. Moreover, who will China protect them from? Their own partners? Everything that is happening is the pain of restructuring the same systems under simpler conditions.
