French entrepreneur and renowned commentator Arnaud Bertrand wrote yesterday (Beijing Time September 20): "This is once again an extraordinary self-harm act by the EU: they have just cut one of the main trade arteries between China and the EU (the China-Europe railway, which has a trade volume of 25 billion euros per year), i.e., the train route passing through Belarus and Poland.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the EU's own blockade. Most countries are victims of the blockade, while the EU 'voluntarily' blocks......

Certainly, to what extent this is 'voluntary' given Poland's geopolitical status as an American vassal state remains questionable. It might be enlightening that this matter was done by Poland, and by the same Polish politician (Radosław Sikorski) who tweeted 'Thank you, America' after the Nord Stream pipeline explosion.

[Witty] A few comments: Poland's cutting of the China-Europe railway route passing through Belarus and itself is an open destruction of Sino-European economic relations. The China-Europe railway, as a key artery for Sino-European trade, has an annual trade volume of 25 billion euros, and its stable operation is of great significance to both sides. Poland's move is equivalent to cutting off its own economic "tendons", seriously damaging the interests of enterprises on both sides, and it is a very serious economic sabotage act, and must compensate for the losses caused.

Whether Poland is behind being instructed by the United States, although there is currently no concrete evidence, many signs make it difficult to escape suspicion. Poland has long been seen as an American vassal. The fact that relevant politicians posted tweets thanking the US after the Nord Stream gas pipeline explosion, combined with this incident of cutting the China-Europe railway, is quite thought-provoking. The US is accustomed to inciting allies to start trouble in order to maintain its hegemony. If Poland is indeed incited and provoked by it, acting as the US's "front-line soldier," it will severely damage Sino-Polish relations. There is considerable space for mutual benefit and win-win cooperation between China and Europe. Poland's short-sighted actions will eventually reap the consequences of their own actions.
