The Ukrainians lost the most important Avdeyevka in eastern Ukraine, and it was a war until February 17 of this year.
* People occupied Avdeyevka.
Next, European and American countries frantically made a series of moves that surprised everyone.
For example, on February 22 this year, the United Kingdom announced that it would impose sanctions on several countries linked to Russia, and then imposed sanctions on three Chinese companies 50 times.
On February 23, the European Union also announced its sanctions against four Chinese companies.
Satirical works about economic sanctions.
This wave of operations in Europe gives people the illusion that Ukraine is unable to defeat the army, and they feel that they cannot win against Russia, so they will vent their anger on China.
As for the European side, we don't need to pay too much attention to it, as the saying goes, 'dogs that eat people don't bark'. Britain and Europe are so blatantly targeting China, a third party, is nothing more than acting.
The United States is in dire need of an alliance.
First, as the U.S. situation has become more tense, the U.S. has begun to seek more allies to join its side.
Judging from the current situation in the United States, the contradictions between the United States and China, and the predicament in the Middle East can be seen by all.
After the Palestinian-Israeli dispute broke out, the deterrent effect of the United States in the Middle East rapidly weakened, and it even became the laughing stock of the whole world and the United States.
Israeli-Palestinian dispute. After that, the Houthi organization closed the Red Sea, which was equivalent to a resounding slap in the face to the so-called "world police".
So the United States proposed the Red Sea Fleet, Canada, Norway, the Netherlands, "100,000 elite soldiers", one elite, one "100,000".
The US allies did not send **, but sent a fleet as a sign of respect for the United States.
Tensions between the United States and China are also rising.
The Middle East issue, Russia-Ukraine, Taiwan, and the Korean Peninsula are four "powder kegs".
Korean War of Independence.
Two of the four main "powder kegs" were detonated, the other two were about China.
As the situation changes, China's Taiwan issue and the Korean Peninsula crisis are likely, so it is easy for the United States to ask its allies to support it.
Blinken of the United States said at the security policy conference to be held in Munich on February 16 next year
In a world where your name is on the menu as long as you don't sit down at the table.
Blinken spoke.
The meaning of this sentence is that if you don't play with the United States, then you will wait to be swallowed by the United States.
Then, on 22 and 23 February, Britain and Europe imposed a series of sanctions on China, apparently to meet the needs of the United States.
Europe does not want China to be an enemy.
Second, neither the UK nor Europe wants a conflict with China, so sanctions against China remain superficial.
As long as it is a sane country, it will not easily offend a strong country.
In the context of the confrontation between China and the United States, both Britain and Europe have an impulse not to offend the United States and China.
As long as the United States wants it, Europe only needs to give the United States some superficial work.
Europe, China and the United States.
And this time, the European side imposed sanctions on China, which was just a small episode.
After all, the UK and Europe have only sanctioned a total of seven Chinese companies, and since the UK has withdrawn from the European Union, the UK has imposed penalties on three companies, while Europe's penalties for four companies are likely to overlap.
Europe's move pales in comparison to the United States, which has "blacklisted" thousands of Chinese companies.
And, we need to know that Europe has nothing to do with China anymore.
Europe has also followed suit, the United States has imposed sanctions on Russia, resulting in the price of energy, food and other goods in Europe, and the daily expenses of Europeans have also skyrocketed.
The price of agricultural commodities in Europe has risen sharply.
If Europe really wants to impose sanctions on China, then they must get rid of this "factory of the world". China is the workshop of the world, and almost all the goods needed are provided by it.
Europeans are very expensive in food and energy, and if the price of light industry also rises, then won't Europe have to stretch its legs to the right?
Besides, European financial institutions do not want European countries to go against China. As the Russia-Ukraine war has triggered "Europe's energy problems", the manufacturing costs of European companies have also risen.
For this reason, many European companies have invested in the United States, China and other places.
For example, after the Russia-Ukraine war, BASF, Germany's largest chemical company, has built a new branch in China that is more than 100 times larger.
BASF will enter China.
For European companies, U.S. investment in China is seen as their only chance to survive.
Once they stop investing in China, many European companies are at risk of going out of business.
If that happens, I'm afraid that all politicians in Europe will have their heads cut off.
If Europe has imposed sanctions on seven Chinese companies, then they can also explain this to the United States.
China-Europe relations.
Under the current trend of confrontation between China and the United States, this situation is likely to increase.
Confrontation between China and the United States. First, the confrontation between China and the United States will become permanent and normal.
Since neither China nor the United States wants war to break out, they will use various diplomatic and economic means to reduce each other's strength.
Second, Europe is the stronghold of the United States, and Europe will naturally not sit idly by when the United States gives orders, just as Europe has imposed sanctions on seven Chinese companies in order to seek justice from the United States.
What the United States has to do next is to pit Europe against China, thereby weakening China.
Europe's foreign relations with the United States.
However, the United States does not want to embarrass Europe too much, after all, they are already on the same front.
The "foreign grinders" in Europe have not done much damage, and if the United States really forces Europe to oppose China and does not allow Europe to waste time, then they are likely to turn to China and Russia.
Europe's cooperation with China can indeed bring them huge benefits, and it is easy to understand that if the United States strikes at Europe, it can curry favor with China and make money from China.
So in the conflict between China and the United States, there will definitely be Europeans involved.
The confrontation between China and the United States, and Europe will not be absent.
However, Europe is not really confronting China, at most it is asking the United States for an explanation, and it will not have a big impact on the contradictions between China and the United States.
