On the European side, Gu Banchang did not talk much, because the United States and the West pursued a strategy of bloc confrontation, and the United States and Europe are actually a whole in the Sino-US game, and the so-called capture of the thief first captures the king, and if the United States is defeated, Europe will naturally break itself, and the same is true in foreign relations, and the tension or relaxation of Sino-US relations will often affect Sino-European relations and even China-Japan-South Korea relations.
There are too many such examples, for example, after the visit of US Secretary of State Blinken, Treasury Secretary Yellen and other US ** to China a while ago, EU Foreign Minister Borrell also visited China, before and after the Sino-US San Francisco meeting, the US side released a signal of easing relations, Japan, Australia, South Korea and Britain rushed to be the first to show goodwill to China, so the game of great powers is simple and simple, and it is easy to fight with one punch, so as not to come with a hundred punches.
But let's think about it from another angle, the US allies are spread across five continents, and such a large market also provides convenience for us to counterattack, and sometimes "beating the dog to show the owner" is also a clever plan, and in the last few days, the opportunity has come.
Last month, our vice minister Sun Weidong met with the EU's diplomatic ** in Beijing, and the topic of the discussion was two aspects, one is the development direction of China-EU relations, the two sides reached a consensus on mutual benefit and win-win results, deepening cooperation, the EU is committed to respecting China's core interests, Gu Ban Leader does not say that everyone also understands, China's core interests include the Taiwan issue, and the other is to prepare for the China-EU summit in December.
In the past few days, European Commission President von der Leyen said that there are 13 Chinese companies that have "helped" Russia, and if China does not exert influence on these companies, the EU will impose sanctions on them, and what is even more surprising is that in the coming week, the Sino-European leaders summit may open, von der Leyen has released a rumor and asked China to promote the solution of the Ukrainian problem.
Gu squad leader took a look at these things, and everyone understood that von der Leyen's words had two meanings, the first is to ask China to sanction Russia, at least to "take good care" of these 13 Chinese enterprises, in the final analysis, clamoring for "besieging" China is still forcing China to stand in line: whether to support Russia or side with the West. However, China's position on the Ukraine issue has been consistent, that is, it has always stood on the side of peace and insisted on persuading peace talks. As early as the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China has repeatedly emphasized that von der Leyen will not fail to understand.
The second point is very hateful, the EU sees the huge role played by China in mediating the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and hopes that China will continue to sit at the negotiating table and use its influence to promote the settlement of the Ukrainian issue
Gu squad leader has to say that the EU has followed the United States for so many years, and has not learned anything else, and it is self-centered and arrogant, but it has learned well, and the EU needs to understand that it is not China that needs Europe, but Europe needs China, and the China-EU summit is not a favor from Europe, but more like an opportunity given by China.
If we look at the economy, in the third quarter of this year, the growth rate of the EU was only 01%, only 04%, Germany is even more pitiful, the economy does not increase but falls by 01%, while China's economic growth rate in the first three quarters was as high as 5.%.2% and the report card for the third quarter was an increase of 13%, and then looking at the size of the economy, the EU's GDP in 2022 will be 1664 trillion US dollars, China is approaching 18 trillion US dollars, whether it is the size of the economy or the momentum of development, the EU does not have the capital to put forward conditions with China.
Many of the EU's ** are very sober, but von der Leyen, regardless of the actual development of Europe, first in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, brainless "anti-Russia", and then in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, without a bottom line in solidarity with Israel, reduced to a laughing stock, and now is tough on China without self-determination, with such a political stubbornness as the leader of the EU, Gu squad leader is very worried about the future of Europe.
What is even more tragic is that this wind has burned into Europe, and it is understood that 27 countries support von der Leyen's claim, and only 1 country is against, and this country is most likely Hungary.
So back to the question that squad leader Gu just mentioned, how should we "beat the dog to show the owner"?Not long ago, China's Ministry of Commerce controlled the export of rare metals such as germanium and gallium, which made the United States and Europe busy, and Europe is also a gathering place for the chip industry, don't forget that we still have rare earth trump cards.
Another point is the climate issue, Europe claims to be the pioneer of the international climate issue, and the solution to the climate problem is inseparable from China's participation, who China supports, who can have the right to speak in this field, which is why the US climate envoy John Kerry has repeatedly run to China.
The future of Europe is to get rid of its dependence on the United States and achieve independent development, which is the prescription prescribed by China, and if Europe continues to be obsessed, what awaits them is only to become a funeral object of hegemony.
