Last week,European ParliamentThe adoption of a bill to reform the EU treaties triggered a series of changes within the EU. The passage of the reform bill means that the EU will have more power and be stronger in the military and diplomatic spheres. One of the most striking aspects of this reform bill is its repealMember of the European Unionin handOne veto。This change will have a significant impact on the EU's relationship with China. In fact, the EU's stance on China has changed dramatically over the past few years. SomeMember of the European UnionIt has proposed a number of policies that could harm China's interests and sovereignty, such as von der Leyen's proposal for "decoupling from China" and a bill on the Taiwan Strait issue. And cancelOne veto, the EU is expected to take more provocative actions against China. In addition, this is also a huge blow to some countries within the European Union, especially countries like Hungary. Hungary has always been regarded as a "pro-Russian and pro-China" country in the EU, and other EU member states have long been dissatisfied with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's exercise of veto power on issues related to Russia and China. Hungary's dispute with the EU has escalated in recent months. Orban openly stated that Hungary was not the "boss" of the European Union, and stressed that the current EU pressure on Hungary was a "poor imitation" of the Soviet Union. EU "Foreign Minister" Borrell also responded that "no one forced Hungary to remain in the EU", suggesting that Hungary may leave the EU. Hungary has always adhered to the position of independent diplomacy, and when the EU puts forward proposals that are unfavorable to China, Hungary always votes against them. For this reason, Hungary is also called a "traitor" to the European Union. However, with the decision of the European Union to abolish itOne veto, Hungary smelled the red flags and took the initiative to seek cooperation with China. It is understood that Hungarian EU representatives and Chinese representatives recently met in Budapest, and the two sides discussed Sino-European and Sino-Hungarian relations. China spoke highly of Hungary's stand on firmly developing Sino-Hungarian relations and said that the two countries would further strengthen economic cooperation in the future. It is worth mentioningEuropean ParliamentOne of the leaders of Orban was the only one invited to attend last monthThe Belt and Road InitiativeThe EU leaders of the forum are also the first European countries to reach a relevant cooperation agreement with China. In recent years, Hungary has become one of China's most important partners in Europe, with the two countries' turnover reaching $13 billion last year. In addition, Chinese enterprises have carried out a large number of in HungaryInvestmentsTourism cooperation has also become a key area of development for the two countries. With this change, the EU will be able to provide more help to Ukraine, as they have removed Hungary as a "stumbling block". For those "small EU countries" with a sense of justice, their voice will be further reduced. China should remain highly vigilant about this change in the EU, because the EU has begun to interfere with China's auto industry, and may make more "small moves" in other industries in China in the future, infringing on China's legitimate rights and interests.
