French economist Yostein Haug (December 9th) wrote in a sarcastic tone: "The West now says to China: 'Please import more, export less. But don't import anything that can help your innovation. At the same time, continue to export the cheap goods we need. In fact, can you just trade in a way that maintains our self-respect, industries, and dominance?'"
[Clever] Comment: This scholar's rant is simply too accurate. China has always adhered to the principles of fair trade and win-win cooperation, but some Western countries have made such unreasonable demands. Take Macron this time, for example, who after returning to France demanded that we solve the trade deficit issue. That's absurd. If you want to solve it, then why don't you stand up and bring more affordable and high-quality foreign goods for us to buy? Macron has always been like this; it's nothing unusual. The last time he visited China, he returned with a smile and immediately launched an anti-dumping investigation on Chinese steel and imposed additional taxes. Except for the Minsk Agreement being played by Zelenskyy, most of the time, Macron keeps changing his stance, like a Sichuan opera performance, and the nickname 'chameleon' is not without reason. If Western countries still hold old colonial mentality and try to control China, they are really making a wrong calculation.
