Greatly beyond the expectations of Europe! EU officials said that China did not yield an inch, we thought they would make some superficial concessions, but even that did not happen! After the China-EU summit, more details have been disclosed. On July 30, according to AFP, French media reported that the EU found that Beijing did not give in on some of its long-standing complaints. China is eager to show the confidence that, as European officials put it, has been shown since China forced the US to lower tariffs three months ago.

EU officials said that whether it was the Ukraine war or trade and economic issues, the EU had not made China change its position. China even bluntly told Europe that Trump promised to end the Ukraine war within 24 hours, but he failed to do so, which proves that no one has much influence over this conflict, including China. As for the trade and economic issues, China did not even make a superficial concession to Europe. Another EU official said that China has changed its attitude. They are convinced that they have tamed the US. They are confident that they can control us better.

Evidently, from the post-hoc disclosures by EU officials, their immediate feeling is that we are too tough on Europe, even unwilling to make a superficial concession. China is becoming increasingly confident, and EU officials have even concluded that we are trying to control Europe. However, despite Europe's complaints, the question is, why does Europe demand that we must make concessions to Europe? The Ukraine war, Europe cannot solve it, the US cannot solve it, yet Europe demands that China, a non-party to the conflict, should solve it, which is very absurd, isn't it?

As for the economic and trade field, what concessions does Europe need from us? To accuse us of "overcapacity" and "industrial subsidies" and then ask us to transfer technology to Europe? To ask us to actively reduce exports and buy more European products, this is certainly impossible. We will not sacrifice our own interests. When countries deal with each other, it cannot be a model where we just accept whatever conditions Europe imposes on us. We do not have the so-called intention to control Europe. We just want to tell Europe that the basis for Sino-European cooperation is definitely not a condition of our unilateral concessions.
