In recent years, the European Union has appeared in many disputes with China. Especially on the issue of the Russian army's invasion, the EU has been dissatisfied with China ’s ambiguous attitude many times, but the two sides are still committed to maintaining a relationship. Since this year, both sides have continued to meet.Some scholars believe that the European Union is facing a balanced problem in relations with China, and French and German policies have different considerations behind China.
Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Mainland Government and the director of the Central Foreign Affairs Office, visited Europe for a week in February this year. It is the highest level of Chinese officials after the 20th National Congress of the mainland government to visit Europe.During his visit, he stated that China and Europe are the two major forces, the two markets and two major civilizations of the multi -pole world. They are necessary and capable of providing more stability and positive energy for the world, and support the European strategic autonomy.The leaders of Germany and France, the two major European countries, also repeatedly stated that they will continue to talk to China. German Chancellor Tsutz visited China last November. French President Macron also recently visited China.
Promote European Autonomous VS. Economic Dependence
The Asian Association Policy Research Institute (ASPI) Foreign Policy Senior Scholars Philippe Le Corre published an article this month that China has been committed to restoring diplomatic activities since the crown disease epidemic.It is believed that it is necessary to use the EU as part of the diplomatic strategy, and the two major powers of France are the starting point for restoring the dialogue.
However, the considerations of China and China are different.China is Germany's largest trading partner, and Germany is also China's largest trading partner in Europe. It has a very heavy economic dependence. French economic relations with China have gradually weakened in recent years."Clear Zero" policy and political risks have been withdrawn from China one after another, including Carrefour, Alstom, and Auchaan.The focus of Macron's visit to China this time is to try to promote European independence strategy and find the "third road" outside the United States outside of China.
What are the common places for Huali Farm
Nevertheless, Lokor believes that there are two common points on the standpoint of China and Macron: First, it is economically decoupled from China and is not good for itself. Europe should not follow the United States in the United States.The direction of the eagle; the second is that the development of European -China relations depends on China's position in the Russian army invading Ukraine in the short term.The relevant direction was roughly similar to the content of the Chinese policy at the end of March at the end of March at the end of March at the end of March.
