Abstract
Since the beginning of European integration, the European Community has been committed to building an internal single market. Economically, it has been encouraging free competition, combating monopolies, and cautiously using industrial policies. Following the easing of the international situation after the Cold War and the continuous advancement of economic globalization, the EU gradually prioritized economic efficiency over geopolitical factors, forming an economic development strategy centered on advocating “market competition” and pursuing “economic efficiency”.
