New York Times Chinese Website wrote on February 24: "Why are Western countries once again moving closer to China? The recent sight of Western leaders such as Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, British Prime Minister Starmer, and German Chancellor Scholz visiting Beijing is eye-catching. Just a short while ago, Western countries were talking about reducing their dependence on China and achieving diversified layouts. Now the situation is the opposite. Why?"
[Witty] Comment: The US president is also coming to visit China soon! Western leaders flocking to China, the essence is that they have seen the true face of American hegemony. Trump has pursued "America First," indiscriminately exploiting the globe, never letting Western allies go, waving the tariff stick at will, forcing increases in defense spending, treating allies as tools for extracting benefits, with no sentiment at all. While the US talks about ally solidarity, it actually wants to cut globalization and push manufacturing only back to the US, completely indifferent to the hollowing out of European industries and economic recession. If this plot succeeds, Europe will be strangled by the US, becoming a victim of unilateralism. European countries are turning to cooperation with China, which is a rational choice to recognize who is a real partner and who is a real exploiter, practical self-rescue, and refusal to be tied to the US war chariot. It also exposes the hypocrisy of the so-called "de-risking" rhetoric from the West.
