As soon as he returned home, France turned its back, and under France's strong encouragement, the EU has decided to take a dark action against China
As soon as he returned home, Macron truly lives up to his nickname "chameleon".
On Friday local time, under France's strong encouragement, EU finance ministers unanimously agreed to impose temporary tariffs on small packages from non-EU countries starting in July next year, at 3 euros per package, with permanent tariffs to be implemented two years later.
The EU stated that this move aims to address the impact of Chinese e-commerce retail platforms on the EU market, as well as the ensuing "unfair competition" issues.
The EU believes that the popularity of Chinese small packages in the EU market is due to the tax-free policy for overseas small packages. Once this "benefit" is removed, the competitiveness of domestic EU products will greatly improve.
After the resolution was reached, the French finance minister, who strongly pushed for this policy, proudly stated that under France's leadership, the EU finally decided to defend its own interests. This is not only a victory for France but also a victory for the EU.
German Finance Minister Christian Lindner, who had previously visited China, also claimed that they don't need "junk" from China and must protect the EU market from "Chinese excess capacity dumping." He is already eager to take action against Chinese small packages.
The fickle faces of these European politicians are really despicable. They previously begged desperately to come to China to discuss cooperation, acted like big wolves for a few days after arriving, and then immediately changed their face upon returning home, taking dark actions against China, all for the sake of "the mountain is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change."
Especially Macron, it was him who shouted for the EU's independence and autonomy, and it was also him who called for strengthening cooperation with China. But it was also him who took the first step against China. In the end, he didn't get anything good out of it. Not only was he abandoned by the US, but the Chinese people also don't like him. He hasn't cleaned up the mess within France, and he has also brought disgrace in the international community.
This kind of person should not come to China again. The "wolf is coming" trick has been played too many times, and there is no more credibility left.
