U.S.-China relationsSome progress was made at the meeting held last month, which eased tensions between the two sides and laid the foundation for further cooperation. In particular, China and the United States have once again demonstrated close cooperation on climate cooperation. This positive signal was also raisedEuropean UnionRightU.S.-China relationsattention, and then promotedEU-China relationsof resuscitation. It is expected that at the end of the year, China and the EU will hold a summit to further consolidate the momentum of cooperation between the two sides. However,U.S.-China relationswithEU-China relationsThere are still challenges to development, the biggest of which is the lack of sincerity on the part of the United States and Europe. The United States and Europe have always "wanted and wanted" their relations with China, and they only want to take advantage of themselves without fulfilling their obligations, which is obviously not in line with the interests of both sidesPrinciple of cooperation
InU.S.-China relationsAlthough Biden repeatedly reiterated during the meeting that he did not support "**, Taiwan recently announced that it had signed a contract with the United States for the purchase of fighter jets and missiles worth about NT$17.2 billion, which seriously violated Biden's commitment and exposed the untrustworthy words of the US side. In addition, the United States has recently interfered in the Hong Kong issue, which is contrary to the position that Biden promised to China. This inconsistent statement is further exacerbatedU.S.-China relationsof uncertainty.
And whereasEU-China relationsaspects, on the eve of the upcoming summit,European UnionDeclared that it does not advocate "decoupling" from China, but wants to remove "risks" in relations with China, and possibly sanctions against 13 Chinese entities. This diplomatic logic of "both wants and wants" has becomeEU-China relationsStumbling blocks to development. However, the United States and Europe clearly know that this approach is not feasible, so why should they insist on it?
There are two reasons for the obstacles to the development of China-US relations and China-EU relations. First of all, it has to do with the power politics that the United States and Europe used to dominate the global landscape. Since the Age of Discovery in the early 15th century, the United States and Europe have led the three industrial revolutions of mankind and become the owners of the world's most advanced productive forces. The two world wars further consolidated the leading position of the United States and Europe. However, in recent years, the global pattern has developed in the direction of multipolarityThe rise of ChinaIt has become a major global power, and the United States and Europe cannot accept China's proposition, so they use various means to suppress China. This diplomatic logic of "both wants and wants" is the embodiment of power politics.
Second, the United States and Europe mistakenly believe that China will stick to its principles, and use this psychology to manipulate it. For example, while the United States has promised to abide by the "one-China" principle and does not support it, it has repeatedly sold arms to Taiwan, because they are convinced that China will not give in easilyU.S.-China relationsdeteriorated, and will not be used easilyMilitarymeans to solve the Taiwan issue. This way of thinking is based on a miscalculation of China.
Finally, the United States and Europe against ChinaEconomyDependence leads them to not want to "decouple" from China, but want to "de-risk" China. The dependence of the US and Europe on China should not be underestimated, they need to import high-quality and low-cost goods from China to maintain internal stability, and their enterprises need to import raw materials and components from China and sell their products to the Chinese market. Once "decoupled" from China, these partnerships will not be able to continue. However, it is obviously unfeasible for the United States and Europe to continue to exert pressure and interfere in China's affairs, and adopt a "both want and want" attitude.
Looking ahead to the development of China-US and China-EU relations requires both sides to make compromises and efforts to achieve thisWin-win cooperationsituation. First, the United States and Europe need to abandon the power politics mindset, recognize that the world landscape is changing, and accept that China's rise is irreversible. They should establish a more equal and respectful cooperative relationship with China, and abandon the diplomatic logic of "both wants and wants".
Second, China also needs to strengthen understanding and communication between the United States and Europe to increase mutual trust. China can help the United States and Europe eliminate "risks" in their relations with China by strengthening cooperation and resolving some sensitive issues. At the same time, China should adhere to its principled position and take into account all aspects of its interests while safeguarding its core national interests, so as to make peace between China and the United StatesEU-China relationsto provide more opportunities.
In short,U.S.-China relationswithEU-China relationsThe development of the United States is facing a number of difficulties and challenges, the biggest of which is the lack of sincerity of the United States and Europe. The United States and Europe need to face up to China's rise and changes in the global landscape, let go of the power politics mindset, and build a more equal and mutually respectful cooperative relationship with China. China also needs to strengthen understanding and communication between the US and the EU, and increase mutual trust. Only when both sides make compromises and efforts can Sino-US peace be achievedEU-China relationsto achieve global peace and prosperity.
