The Hong Kong version of the National Security Law legislation has become a major issue for international attention because of the wrestling of China and the United States.After the implementation of the National Security Law on Tuesday (June 30), this debate became a topic of discussion on the UN Human Rights Council, and nearly a hundred countries stated this.The Guoan Law has formed a political debate against China in the international community, and the statements of various countries have naturally become an important indicator of glimpse of the countries in China and the United States in China and the United States.As expected, the countries that oppose the Guoan Law of China Port District are mainly Western camps led by the United States and Western Europe, and those who support China are mainly Asian and African Groups and Eastern Europe.It is worth noting that whether it is Europe, which is used as a geopolitical and economic section, or an EU with super national entities, its attitude towards China is more divided than other regions, reflecting the scruples and limitations of Europe ’s problems in dealing with Chinese issues in response to Chinese issues.Essence
Three of the European countries have publicly supported China, respectively, three non -European Union -in countries, Russia, Belarus, and Serbia, which are closely related to China.But Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Czech and other EU countries, and Ukraine chose to remain silent.The United States requires other countries to participate in the encirclement of China with soft and hard means. To some extent, these countries reflect that they are not interested in participating in this siege and do not want to choose between China and the United States, so as not to cause one of them dissatisfaction.
The key to economic and trade relations
These unprecedented countries have their own interests.For example, many Central and Eastern European countries are within the framework of 17+1, a cooperation between China and Central and Eastern Europe. It is closely related to China's economic and trade relations. It is also expected that China's investment can replace the United States and revive the local economy that is stagnant because of the financial tsunami.Greece, Hungary, Romania, etc. have been closely related to China, and in the past, when the European Union planned to adopt a tough policy or condemn China in China, they all voted against China, which was considered a threat to interfere with Europe.
Outside Eastern European countries, Southern European countries such as Italy, Spain, and Portugal also remain silent to China.Many countries in Southern Europe and Eastern Europe are in a downturn because of financial tsunami, and they also look forward to Chinese investment.Italy and Portugal participated in the Belt and Road Development Plan advocated by China, which has close relations with China's economic and trade relations.Spain itself has adopted tough means to deal with Gatai's independence, and has an embarrassing position on Hong Kong independence with separationism, which has affected Spain's intention to participate in the siege of China on the Hong Kong issue.As early as last year, when Western countries condemned China on human rights issues in Xinjiang, the three countries of Italy, West, and Portuguese were no longer listed in the co -signed. Especially in Italy and Spain, they were members of the United Nations Human Rights Council. There were sufficient reasons to speak.
The European Union is a super -national organization with a major decision with the consensus of member states. Some members are unwilling to adopt a tougher attitude towards China, which greatly limits the EU's toughness to China.Ursula Von der Leyen, chairman of the European Commission, mentioned on July 2 that if EU member states have agreed to have opinions on the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law, it will have a long -term impact on China.However, since the EU member states have difficulty reaching an agreement on China's attitude, Feng Delin's words are that Europe will not take too aggressive operations.Even the EU leading Germany, which opposes the National Security Law and China, is not tough to China like the United States.In response to the issue of the National Security Law, German Chancellor Merkel stated that China has important strategic relationships with the European Union. It must maintain communication and keep dialogue with Beijing on the National Security Law.Germany will be the chairman of the EU's rotation next year. Merkel, also known that relations with China will be the top priority of Germany and the European Union.These reflecting the European Union and Europe are likely to maintain their own routes outside Britain, the United States and other countries: emphasize Europe's free and democratic values in termsAmerican unilateralism.
