Next week, the international "Energy Security Summit" will be held in the UK. Regarding this matter, Observer Network cited the following message from The Guardian, a well-known British media outlet: 1. China has declined to attend due to a scheduling conflict with other engagements of relevant staff members. More directly put, Chinese personnel currently have no time to attend. At present, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has not made any official statement on this matter. 2. Russia was not invited, as it is being hosted by Western countries, which is not surprising. 3. Trump will send officials to attend and views this as the best opportunity to persuade the West. At that time, the US side will promote Trump's various fallacies regarding the energy sector in an attempt to get all countries around the world to abandon advanced clean energy plans.

Regarding these situations, Britain is actually quite helpless at present. After all, they have worked hard to host such a summit. However, as China is one of the top countries recognized by the United Nations for its outstanding performance in the field of clean energy, if China really sends no one to attend, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face for the UK. As for the reason why China is not attending, some international affairs experts also believe that it is not due to a scheduling conflict but rather a way for China to send a signal to the Trump administration. Western expert Mr. Paul Bertram said: "China's refusal to participate this time is a very tough stance towards Trump." Because China has always believed that the Trump administration is hindering global progress on energy issues.

This clearly belittles China's vision. On the one hand, China is now firmly ahead in the tariff war, and Trump just expressed earlier that he might lower tariffs on China. Therefore, those who want to cause trouble now can only be Trump, not China. On the other hand, one matter at a time, China has always actively participated in international new energy plans, and its achievements are there for all to see. However, objectively speaking, China's decision not to attend this time is a good opportunity for the West to recognize two realities: 1. The first reality is to make the West understand that they cannot do without China in the field of clean energy. In the past ten years, China has done too much and taken on too much responsibility in the field of clean energy.

The second reality is that if the West allows troublemakers like the US to act recklessly, it would be irresponsible. After Trump took office this year, he signed an executive order on January 20th, announcing that the US would withdraw from the Paris Agreement again. In just a few years, this is their third game of "on-and-off". Such childish behavior should not be followed by the entire world. Inviting the US to participate in this conference is itself not a wise choice. If troublemakers are allowed to cause chaos during the meeting, as the host, the UK has a responsibility to the whole world. In summary, energy issues are just the tip of the iceberg. Trump is dragging down many fields globally now. Hegemonism has never been limited to just the tariff war; it has a very bad impact on all fields. This tells the world that we must unite in every aspect to cope with it.
