Less than 24 hours after China's move against the EU, Macron calls on Europe to open up to China!

On December 18, Hong Kong's "The Guardian" reported: "China's Ministry of Commerce announced on Tuesday that it would impose anti-dumping duties on pork and pig by-products from the EU. This measure is based on the preliminary determination in September that dumping and substantial damage have occurred. Previously, the EU had hyped up the trade imbalance with China but ignored the fact that the trade deficit has decreased, the service trade surplus, and the fact that the surplus is in China while the profits are in Europe. Less than 24 hours later, Macron immediately stated that the EU must open up to China, but with conditions such as investment creating jobs and promoting technology sharing. It wants Chinese technology and capital while fearing the impact of Chinese companies. In addition, US pressure on EU trade, combined with Sino-EU rivalry, makes European politicians' fickle foreign policy even more passive."

[Witty] As soon as China's anti-dumping tax on EU pork takes effect, Macron quickly called for the EU to open up to China within 24 hours. This face-changing speed is faster than flipping a book, making him a top performer in the political world! Previously, he took the 30 billion euro surplus as a topic, but chose to ignore the fact that the trade deficit has dropped by 27% in 2023 and that the EU's service trade surplus with China exceeded 50 billion dollars in 2024. He also forgot about the profit secret of nearly 40% of products from European companies in China being resold back to Europe. On one hand, it craves Chinese technology and capital, demanding investments to benefit Europe, while on the other hand, it allows Germany to spend 2 billion euros to dismantle Chinese 5G equipment, not even tolerating mature technology. How can there be any sincerity in cooperation? Now, pressured by both China and the US, it remembers to show favor to China. This double standard operation of wanting everything is exposing the opportunistic nature of European politicians. The so-called openness is merely a temporary solution when cornered, and without equal respect, cooperation is ultimately an illusion.
