【Wen / Observers Network, Xiong Chaoran】The hegemonic actions of Western countries have led to intensified global conflicts and a devastated world. Their politicians not only fail to reflect but also shift the blame, falsely implicating China, which is utterly absurd.

According to Reuters and Turkey's Yeni Şafak, as reported on March 5 local time, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kallas, in her speech at the University of Zurich, stated that the current turmoil in the Middle East is a direct consequence of weakened international law. She believes that the international order has been undermined by unilateral actions of major powers, especially pointing fingers at the United States, China, and Russia.

When talking about China, she claimed that China is taking advantage of the current "disintegration of international rules" to advance its long-term strategy, and continues to hype up those "false accusations," stating: "China is expanding its nuclear arsenal faster than any other country. With impressive strategic patience, China has been creating dependency relationships around the world, threatening coastal countries in the East and South China Seas, funding the Ukraine-Russia conflict, and reshaping the world order according to its own will."

She also claimed that China's efforts to pressure the European economic model constitute a "risk" and undermine the multilateral system that ensures rules truly work.

How absurd Kallas' remarks are! Last year, at the 2025 International Situation and Chinese Diplomacy Symposium, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister, stated that in the face of changes in the international order, China is a "stabilizing factor." The United Nations has journeyed through 80 years, and the transformation of the international system has accelerated. In the face of the tide of the times, some people try to hit the brakes, while others attempt to go backward, but China's choice is to look toward the future, work with all parties to build a community with a shared future for humanity, and promote the international order to develop in a more just and reasonable direction.

"If we do not restore international law and accountability, we are destined to see repeated violations of the law and social unrest," Kallas said during her speech. She added, "What we see in the Middle East today is a direct consequence of the erosion of international law."

Everyone knows that this Middle East crisis was sparked by the United States and Israel, but Kallas said nothing about it, instead directing the blame towards Russia.

"This all started with Russia - a permanent member of the UN Security Council - who recklessly 'invaded' a neighboring country, with a clear cynical attitude," she claimed. She stated that the Ukraine-Russia conflict sends a signal to the entire world - no one needs to take responsibility for their actions, and the rules have been discarded.

Regarding the United States, Kallas said that the foreign policy under President Trump's leadership underwent a fundamental shift. "The shift in U.S. foreign policy has shaken the foundation of transatlantic relations and caused ripples in other parts of the world, with a significant impact on the international order," she said.

She believes that a new world order is forming. "The current world order is moving towards a direction dominated by competition and power politics, a system led by a few military powers aiming to establish and consolidate their own spheres of influence."

Yeni Şafak stated that Kallas' statements highlight Europe's anxiety about how to survive in a multipolar world, where traditional alliances and international norms face unprecedented challenges.

In fact, since President Trump returned to the White House, the relationship between the United States and Europe has remained tense. Last December, the U.S. government released a new national security strategy document, sharply criticizing Europe for "economic decline and a severe prospect of civilization's demise," causing dissatisfaction and concern among European leaders.

Previously, on February 15, Associated Press reported that Kallas spoke at the Munich Security Conference, responding to Secretary of State Rubio's speech the day before, refuting the criticism from the Trump administration. Kallas stated that Europe is not facing "civilization's demise," and the EU has even attracted countries outside Europe such as Canada. However, she also emphasized that although there are differences between the U.S. and Europe, the two sides remain closely connected.
