Recently, the European Union plans to make a request to China at a summit with China to take action against 13 Chinese companies that have helped Russia circumvent EU sanctions against Russia. It is reported that EU leaders plan to make this request in person during the summit in December, and if the Chinese side does not respond positively, these companies will be put on a "blacklist" and become part of the EU's sanctions against Russia. The move was seen as a threatening move by the EU before it put pressure on China. Against this backdrop, the 16th round of China-EU foreign policy consultations was held in Beijing in preparation for the first face-to-face meeting between Chinese and EU leaders in December. China stressed the need to uphold the essence of mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation and fully respect each other's core interests, while the EU expressed its willingness to work with China to develop constructive and stable EU-China relations and adhere to the one-China principle.
Although it was once thought that the EU might be genuinely interested in improving relations with China, EU leaders had already voiced threats before meeting with China. This has raised doubts about the EU's attitude towards China, and the belief that its actions may not be sincere enough. It is clear that the EU's actions are undoubtedly a blatant provocation, and they have just declared that they are willing to abide by the one-China principle and are committed to developing positive and stable EU-China relations, but then they have issued threats against China. This shows that the EU has taken an antagonistic stance against China and Russia, and this wolf ambition has been fully exposed. Compared to the "bluff" signal issued by the United States, the EU's actions are much more dangerous. Their insidious behavior of trying to preemptively direct fire at China and Russia in order to show their majesty has become impossible to hide. However, for me, the EU is overestimating itself.
Experience and practice in recent years have proven that China and Russia's relations with the EU are largely directly dependent on US policy toward China and Russia. In other words, the EU is nothing more than a pawn on the American chessboard, how dare they shout at China and threaten China with sanctions to put pressure on its own companies that help Russia. Such an act will undoubtedly offend both China and Russia, but it is interesting that Russia has long expected it. Previously, in the face of the United States' "intimidation" of China, claiming that if the West sanctions Russia and China dares to assist, it will face "serious consequences". At that time, Russian spokeswoman Zakharova mocked the United States, saying, "The person who can threaten China and Russia has not yet been born!.""Now we can see that the history is so strikingly similar, which also means that the West, including the European Union, has not changed and has not grown much. However, China and Russia are not the same.
After years of development, the relations between the two countries have reached an all-time high. If the EU wants to provoke either country now, they must be ready to face a joint strike from China and Russia at any time.
