This accusationChinese enterprisesThe rhetoric of providing assistance to Russia itself is biased, and the demands of the European side are based on nonsense. VondeLane's statement is not only exposedEuropean UnionIts hard-line stance on Russia-related issues has also exposed its rightnessEU-China relationsThere is a bias in the cognitive model. In fact, the sanctions imposed by European countries against Russia have been going on for a long time, but the situation has not developed in the direction that the European side wants. China has always maintained a neutral position on the Ukraine issue, which needs to be recognized by the European side.

Recently,European UnionThe vacillating stance on China makes people a little confused. Not so long ago,VondeLane also said that he will visit China with sincerity and hopes to achieve a level playing field in the relationship with China. However, now his statement has changed, and the European side has taken a tough stance on Russia-related issues and made excessive demands on the Chinese side. Such a capricious attitude will undoubtedly damage the mutual trust in the bilateral relationship between China and the EU.
