Europe's China policy may be about to make a major shift! One of the most anti-China politicians in European politics, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kallas, has suddenly shown goodwill towards us. Kallas claimed that the Chinese people endured great suffering in World War II to defend their homeland and end the war. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the end of the Asian battlefield of World War II, the EU pays tribute to the courage of the Chinese people.
To be honest, during the September 3rd military parade, many European countries' leaders did not attend, and the EU also did not send high-level representatives to our parade. Our grand commemorative event has already passed two months ago, and now Kallas unexpectedly shows us respect, which is probably not accidental. Especially since this person is very anti-China, and she has changed her tone, which can only mean that Europe is sending goodwill towards China, and Europe may be adjusting its policy towards China.
Some may say that at the current time when Sino-Japanese relations are tense, Europe is supporting China. But this may not be the case. The real reason is only one: the Ukraine war is about to end, U.S.-Russia relations will ease, and U.S.-Europe relations are further deteriorating. Europe has no choice but to reassess the importance of its relationship with China. The situation is clear: due to Ukraine, Europe has completely broken with Russia, and is almost breaking with the United States. If Europe strains its relations with China, its position will be very disadvantageous.
From Europe's perspective, regarding the Ukraine war, Europe at least hopes we maintain an impartial stance and secure some benefits for Europe. Further, after the Ukraine war has caused great damage to Europe, Europe also needs to get out of its economic difficulties by deepening external cooperation. Previously, Macron even said he hoped we would participate in the G7 meeting. The trend of Europe trying to bring us in is clearly obvious. It can be expected that as the Ukraine war ends, Sino-European relations will warm up a bit.
