Some context, which I’m sure will be downvoted because we don’t like chat control.
The Danes currently hold the rotating presidency for the council. As such they are required to be the architects of the council position, good initiatives and bad.
The EU holds countries that are against government access to chat services and countries that believe access should be routine and warrant-free.
The Danish “architect of chat control” is thus required, by EU law, to define a compromise position and see if that can be voted through in the council.
The compromise position is a combination of “scanning at source” using both known fingerprints and AI, with a warrant based access process for police sources.
As a compromise position that’s possible passable in parliament and council.
I personally think the whole thing the entire thing is unworkable in practice. But the Danes are getting involved because they have to.
The Chinese Han culture absolutely set out to colonise, conquer and subjugated other areas. Xinjiang, Tibet, Mongolia and Manchuria were all conquered during the Qing dynasty and Zhang He projected power and subjugated city states and cultures during his many naval expeditions out.
Colonisation was common all across all cultures. Look at how the Aztec acted towards their many neighbours.
The reason European colonisation was so “successful” was just a “lucky” fluke of circumstances and technological evolution. Had the same conditions occurred in China first, Europeans would all have been subjugated by them. Not because the many Chinese cultures are worse or better than ours but simply because it’s been an incredibly commonplace activity across all cultures. The European colonisation was just the most “successful”.
