In an editorial published after the result of the Greek referendum Global Times newspaper sees uncertainty for Greece and the EU. As the article explains:
‘European integration is facing an unprecedented challenge. To the EU, appeasement to Greece is to encourage default and rebellion, which will result in negative consequences in the long term. But kicking Greece out would mean a serious regression of the EU, another unaffordable result.Greece is a part of Europe geographically. If chaos happens to it, the trouble will still be the EU’s. Greece has rejected the bailout terms in a democratic way, overwhelming the EU spiritually. Not compromising means the EU has to confront huge risks ahead. EU leaders may not necessarily want to take them.’
