The United Kingdom** has sanctioned 46 entities and individuals in many countries, including three Chinese companies, for so-called "support for the Russian war machine". This is undoubtedly an attempt to show goodwill to the United States and deepen relations between the two sides. However, the UK did not produce sufficient evidence to rashly impose sanctions on Chinese companies. However, Britain does not have the power background of the United States, so such behavior is bound to be self-defeating. China will take strong measures to protect the rights and interests of enterprises, and demand that the UK** immediately lift sanctions and correct its mistakes. China has warned that any action that harms China's interests will be met with a resolute pushback. Britain will only end up reaping the consequences of following the United States as a follower.
Italy's announcement of its withdrawal from the Belt and Road Initiative sends a bad signal to Sino-Italian relations. Although the impact on Sino-Italian relations has been limited, it is Italy itself that has lost a platform for cooperation with China and other Belt and Road partners. Why did Italy make such a decision?Although there is no obvious estrangement or conflict of geopolitical interests between China and Italy, it is likely that there are political considerations to try to reduce pressure from the United States. However, withdrawing from the Belt and Road Initiative will be the result of their own suffering, and the biggest loss will be Italy itself.
France has cooperated with the Philippines in the South China Sea and announced its readiness to conduct joint maritime patrols with the Philippines. Prior to this, French Defense Minister Le Corny, who visited the Philippines, also said that France and the Philippines would strengthen defense cooperation. Although the Philippines has conducted joint patrols with the United States and Australia, it has also launched military activities with France. Behind this coincidence should be the ghost of the United States. It can be said that the three old hegemonic powers, including France, Britain and Italy, all have some kind of premeditation. In particular, it is worth mentioning that the actions of these three countries all took place on the same day, and the relationship between them, whether the United States is operating behind the scenes, or trying to curry favor with the United States in this way, cannot be ignored.
China must not be polite to this kind of containment, suppression, and containment. If these countries have the courage to provoke, then China has reason to be prepared to strike hard and let them know that China is not easy to bully. China** will take strong measures to safeguard its national interests and corporate rights and interests, urge these countries to immediately correct their mistakes, and lift sanctions against Chinese companies. China will not passively accept it, but will resolutely fight back and defend its own rights and interests.
Britain, Italy and France have each taken action against China, and all three countries have taken action on the same day. While Britain, Italy, and France have different backgrounds and motivations, they are undoubtedly all following American orientations, or trying to please the United States. China has resolutely responded to this act of containment, suppression, and containment, and will take measures to safeguard the rights and interests of the state and enterprises. China will not passively accept it, but will fight back with a strong posture, letting those countries who are barking at China know that China is not easy to bully. Only by firmly safeguarding our own interests can we defuse the pressure of containment and suppression, and make China stand firm in the international community. China will respond to any challenge with its own strength and wisdom and safeguard its national dignity and development interests.
