First of all, let's review the current relationship between China and the EU. President von der Leyen recently made a statement attacking China on the eve of the China-EU summit, claiming that EU countries have been against China in recent yearsDeficitIt almost doubled to 400 billion euros, which caused widespread concern and controversy. However, we need to look at the issue from a more holistic perspective. Since the EU countries import a large number of goods to China, but the growth in exports to China is slow, this has created the so-calledDeficit。However, this apparent deficit does not fully reflect the real situation in Central Europe. In fact, many of the European companies with high export volumes are Sino-European joint ventures, which create a large number of jobs in EU countries. At the same time, due to the trend of deep integration of the global industrial chain, many Chinese enterprises that export more to the European market also have production and operation links in Europe, which also brings certain links to European countriesEconomyBenefit. Therefore, we can't just start withDeficitIn fact, it is also affected by the macroEconomyThe influence of many factors such as the environment, international conditions and the industrial structure of both sides.
Von der Leyen's speech has aroused the attention of the outside world about China-EU relations. Some believe that she is trying to prepare for the upcoming release by attacking ChinaCountervailing dutyInvestigate and prepare. However, this kindProtectionismThe practice is not in line with the rules and trends of modern international **. Take the US war against China as an example, although the United States has maintained it for a long timeDeficit, but they did not consider it a loss, but fought a ** war for political purposes. In contrast, China has been actively promoting the high-level opening up of its own chain, and welcomes all countries to share in China's huge market of 1.4 billion people. Globally integratedEconomypattern,DeficitIt does not accurately reflect all the benefits and losses, and it is easy to obtain as a producerSurplus, which is easily accessible as a consumerDeficit。In fact, the contribution of Central Europe to Europe is not on par with the benefits that the United States has gained from China and the United States, except that some people in the EU's high-level institutions are trying to undermine itEU-China relations, deliberately creating contradictions for this.
of the European CommissionCountervailing dutyThe investigation is a very serious operation, and it is against ChinaElectric vehiclesThe industry has conducted an investigation with the intention of imposing restrictions on China's manufacturing sector. However, this kind of behavior will not achieve the desired effect and will only have a negative impact on the economic and trade relations between China and the EU. Instead of taking such unilateral actions, it is better to strengthen dialogue and cooperation to jointly promote the healthy development of China and the EU. The two sides should pay more attention to cooperation and jointly explore cooperation opportunities in more fields to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
In short, von der Leyen's remarks do not accurately reflect the real situation in Central Europe. DeficitIt is only a small part of the relationship, and we cannot simply judge the quality of the relationship between China and the EU. On the contrary, China-EU relations are based on mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation, and the two sides should strengthen dialogue and cooperation to jointly promote the healthy development of China-EU economic and trade relations. In the current worldEconomyIn the case of increased uncertainty, protectionist approaches will only weaken the interests of all parties, while cooperation and mutual benefit are the only options.
