Von der Leyen expresses support for stronger China-EU cooperation and a clear shift in attitude toward the United States.

Van der Leyen's attitude towards China has changed! After the China-EU summit, Van der Leyen is more confident when facing the United States! On July 24, according to foreign media reports, after the China-EU summit, Van der Leyen stated that the EU's strengthening of trade relations with China has nothing to do with the deterioration of relations with the United States. The relationship with China itself is very valuable. Moreover, Van der Leyen also said that Brussels will continue to maintain close contact with Washington on the technical level.

But it is also preparing countermeasures. Van der Leyen emphasized that all options are under consideration. Obviously, from this statement, Van der Leyen, who has long advocated "de-risking" and accused China of "excess capacity," has clearly changed his attitude towards China. From these words, Van der Leyen's meaning is clear: that China-Europe should strengthen trade relations.

Evidently, such a statement indicates that there are definitely differences between China and Europe, but both sides have basically reached an agreement on the main direction. Moreover, we found that after the China-EU summit, Van der Leyen's attitude towards the United States has become significantly tougher. And the fact that all options are under consideration is essentially telling the United States that Europe has prepared for countermeasures against the United States. Europe is not willing to accept the US's extortion.

Evidently, at this stage, deepening cooperation between China and Europe is very beneficial for both sides. China-Europe cooperation has broad space, and now, the third round of China-US talks are about to take place, and the US-EU talks will also be resolved. It is not excluded that China and Europe have already coordinated their positions in dealing with the US's tariff threats. When Europe chooses to cooperate with us economically, the pressure is undoubtedly on the United States. At an important node, Europe chose to strengthen its relationship with us, which is undoubtedly a very correct decision.
