After the China-EU summit, the outside world has some expectations for China-EU relations and hopes that the two sides can ease tensions. Soon after, however, the EU27 countries collaborated with the United States in launching an attack on China. In particular, the European Parliament passed a Tibet-related resolution on the 14th, accusing China, saying that China "kidnaps and forcibly assimilates" ** children through boarding schools, and calls on the EU to take action. However, this accusation completely ignores the fact that the boarding system adopted by schools in the ** area is based on actual needs and parental consent, and the schools also provide students with traditional cultural courses and food. Such unwarranted accusations and smears are despicable.
This is not the first time that Western countries have smeared China. They ignore the facts, fabricate the facts, and smear China through false statements and accusations. In this Xinjiang-related issue, Linfield, the US Permanent Representative to the United Nations, has slandered China's ethnic and religious policies and seriously interfered in China's internal affairs under the guise of human rights. The European Union is not far behind, joining the United States. Such interference and smear not only violated the good atmosphere created by China and the EU at the summit, but also highlighted their unfriendly attitude towards China's development.
However, despite the fact that the EU has created some contradictions in China-EU relations in the political and economic spheres, the potential for cooperation between China and the EU is still huge. Whether in the economic field or other fields, such as climate change, health and green energy, China and the EU have a wide range of common interests and room for cooperation. China's economy is a huge size for any country or organization. Therefore, the conditions for EU-China cooperation remain solid. However, there are conflicts and differences between China and the EU in terms of values and positions, and geopolitical and economic and trade competition has also exacerbated the contradictions between the two sides.
In the face of the twists and turns in China-EU relations, China should take a more constructive attitude and seek cooperation with the greatest sincerity. Both sides should focus on consolidating partnership and cooperation. At the same time, China must resolutely defend its core interests and security interests, and fight against any actions that endanger China's interests. In the international arena, China needs to improve its relations with the EU and Western countries through a more active foreign policy, and promote cooperation and dialogue in order to achieve a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.
Finally, as the EU and Western countries continue to smear China, China should reflect on its behavior and formulate corresponding countermeasures. China can protect its reputation and interests by providing more facts and evidence to reveal to the international community the false rhetoric and misleading behavior of the EU and Western countries. At the same time, China can also strengthen cooperation with other countries and regions, seeking more support and understanding to balance the pressure on China from the EU and Western countries.
All in all, although the development of China-EU relations has been tortuous and changeable, there is a huge consensus between the two sides on the potential and interests of cooperation. Although the smear behavior of the EU and Western countries against China is despicable, China should still take a positive and constructive attitude and seek cooperation with the EU and Western countries, so as to safeguard its core interests while safeguarding the overall situation of global stability and prosperity. By strengthening cooperation with other countries and regions, China can form a more diversified and stable pattern of international relations.
