China's language, France finally seems to have understood! The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has issued a major announcement, declaring that anti-dumping duties will be imposed on related brandy imported from the EU, and this measure will take effect on July 5th. French President immediately expressed to Foreign Minister Wang Yi that he hopes to visit China. What does this statement from France indicate? It indicates that when we politely speak to France, France pretends not to understand. Once we clearly state our bottom line, France realizes that it is not good to openly confront us.
To be honest, our diplomatic approach towards these European countries has been too polite. We come with sincerity and goodwill, always treating Europe as a partner rather than an opponent. But what's the result? Europe is taking advantage, making demands one after another, whether reasonable or not, they all expect us to accept them entirely.
For example, in the case of new energy vehicles, the essence is that our competitiveness has increased, but Europe insists that we rely on subsidies. The key point is, even if there are subsidies, can subsidies necessarily achieve technological leadership? Does Europe not have subsidies? Then there is medical equipment, for anything over 5 million euros, Europe says "close the door" to us, is this appropriate? Such behavior clearly shows that Europe itself is not following the rules!
This time, the implementation of the anti-dumping duty on brandy is telling France that we won't tolerate the problems of Europe. If you don't want our kind words and respect, we will handle things in a formal and equal manner. In fact, we dare to stand up to the United States. Europe is not ignorant of our strength and confidence. Europe wants us to show our fists before changing its attitude towards us, which is undoubtedly a bad habit. Of course, it's a bad habit and should be corrected.
