We already have two nuclear powers in Europe.

The ESA already has a cooperation program with China, and they are already working together on programs such as Dragon6.

In terms of independence, though, it is essential that Europe maintains large scale programs such as Ariane 6 instead of relying on China.

There is a guy named Arthur David Olson who maintains a small database of all the time zones in the world, including things like leap seconds and such. It’s used by everybody and it is updated several times a year. See here:
