Switzerland supports China, and more European countries part ways with the United States' China policy

The upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics is a sporting event that will help promote world peace. The United States politicizes it, thus reducing it to a political tool to contain China. Therefore, opposing the Beijing Winter Olympics has become a means for the United States to win over allies and partners to provoke China. However, it turns out that this extreme approach of the United States, which is seriously contrary to the spirit of international sportsmanship, is doomed to failure.

As the U.S. opposition to the Beijing Winter Olympics is buzzing with noise, more and more allies and partners have chosen not to follow suit. According to the "Reference News" reported on the 16th, the spokesman of the Swiss Federal Government told the media a few days ago that the Federal Council believes that a government official should be sent to attend the Beijing Winter Olympics. According to local media, Amhede, Swiss Federal Councillor and Minister of Defence, Civil Defence and Sports, may be the most suitable person to attend the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics.

Since the federal minister was provisionally decided to attend the Beijing Winter Olympics, it shows that before that, Switzerland also intended to succumb to pressure from the United States and refuse to send officials to the Beijing Winter Olympics. Therefore, this should be a decision made by the Swiss government after it has understood the situation. It is clear that a growing number of countries that refuse to allow officials to attend the Winter Olympics are embarking on a diplomatic path that runs counter to that of the United States.

Prior to this, France publicly opposed the politicization of the Beijing Winter Olympics, confirming that it would send officials to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics. In addition, the Indian government recently made a "bold decision" to oppose the politicization of the Beijing Winter Olympics by the United States and decided to send personnel to attend the Current Winter Olympics. At this point, except for a very small number of die-hard us loyal vassals in the world, the vast majority of countries in the world, including US allies and partners, have gone to the opposite side of the US anti-China policy.

The European Union is the main ally of the United States, and the vast majority of its members are also NATO allies of the United States, which can be said to be the sphere of influence of the United States. However, with the decline of Sino-US influence in the world, in a sense, the European region is no longer a "hotbed" of the United States' anti-China campaign. This is evident from the fact that the United States has strongly demanded that eu-union countries support the Vilnius authorities, but has not been able to receive a positive response.

According to the Observer Network reported on the 16th, on the 15th local time, the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Borrelli said that EU member states "clearly expressed their solidarity with Vilnius." However, despite repeated calls by Foreign Minister Vilnius for further concrete action by the EU, the EU has so far not announced new initiatives.

The Vilnius authorities have touched China's diplomatic bottom line, and the country's economy has suffered a huge blow due to the deterioration of relations with China. To this end, the country has repeatedly asked the EU for help, asking the EU to exert pressure on China and force China to abandon its countermeasures. However, the Observer Network said that the EU pays lip service to help Vilnius "head out", but it is unwilling to take action.

The EU is reluctant to offend China for the sake of Vilnius. Risking trade frictions with China to prop up a marginalized member is not worth the EU. Therefore, the EU's verbal "solidarity" with Vilnius is likely to fool the United States, and it is difficult for Vilnius to expect them to provide substantive support.

The existence of many of the above factors actually shows the fact that the United States cannot win the competition with China in the "new Cold War" it has provoked. According to Shangguan News reported on the 15th, the United States launched a new Cold War against China, and obtained the "hard assist" of Japan, Australia and other regional allies, can politicians in Washington be at ease? The US Foreign Policy website asserts that the United States launching a new Cold War against China is doomed to failure.

In fact, the US provocative strategy against China has failed in many fields, such as the trade war to the end, and it is not China but the United States itself that is scarred. Washington provoked China with issues such as so-called "human rights" and investigations into the origin of the virus, only to let the fire itself ignite. It may be said that in the fierce competition between China and the United States, the United States is a loser.

At the beginning of the new year, the Chinese foreign minister visited five countries in Asia and Africa, the French national security adviser, the foreign ministers of the Middle East and the secretary general of the Peace Conference visited China successively, and the Chinese and British armed forces held a high-level strategic dialogue through video link. All of this shows that in Europe and even the world, the vast majority of countries are willing to develop cooperative relations with China in various fields. As a "loser" in great power competition, the United States cannot call the wind and rain in the world.
