The penetration and control of Europe by the United States can be said to have been vividly reflected in the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the past two years. The Nord Stream pipeline project in Germany and Russia was bombed, and the Germans, and even the Europeans, are still playing dumb. Creating a "decoupling" between China and Europe is now the main task of a group of European "agents" in the United States. However, a few days ago, Macron's sudden move may change the situation.
Let's talk about the situation on Macron's side first. According to Bloomberg and Russia Today, French President Emmanuel Macron is in discussions with the leaders of other EU member states to replace the current president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
Ironically, five years ago, it was Macron and Merkel who joined forces to put von der Leyen in the position of president of the European Commission. As a result, all the countries in Europe that had a little ambition regretted it. Now, for the upcoming new term of the President of the European Commission, von der Leyen still wants to be elected. Macron is definitely not going to do it. Then Macron publicly stated that the role of the president of the European Commission should be to defend the interests of the whole, and not to be overly politicized. And von der Leyen is too politicized.
This is actually quite tactful. Further, it is in Europe's interest to maintain appropriate interaction with China. However, von der Leyen politicized everything, vigorously engaged in the "decoupling" of China and Europe, opposed Russia and supported Ukraine, and cooperated with the political needs of the United States, which greatly damaged the interests of Europe. Therefore, Macron can only find a way to "kill" this president of the European Commission.
I can't say when Macron reacted, von der Leyen was an "agent" pushed by the United States, or from the beginning, Macron's support for von der Leyen's election may be a political concession to the United States. But what is certain is that Macron knows perfectly well what it means to openly agitate European countries to "take out" von der Leyen.
When Macron visited China before, he also brought von der Leyen over, but the overall itinerary did not mean to arrange von der Leyen from beginning to end. This is almost equivalent to deliberately bringing a "surveillance" with you to appease the United States and express that your visit to China is not aimed at the United States.
So, why did you suddenly want to "kill" von der Leyen this time. Judging from the time point before and after, there is a very coincidental thing, that is, when Macron began to make trouble, China and France had an interaction. According to a message from China's Ministry of National Defense, the commander of the mainland's southern theater held talks with the visiting commander of the French army's Pacific maritime region and signed a mechanism for cooperation and dialogue between the Chinese and French militaries to deepen mutual trust and cooperation between the two militaries.
At first glance, it may seem like the two things are in different order. However, if you think about it carefully, you will know that this kind of level and level of cooperation cannot be decided by the leader of a certain military region as soon as his brain is hot. It must have been decided after a long period of evaluation and discussion. This means that in this short period of time, Macron has been saying bad things about von der Leyen everywhere on the surface, wanting to "kill" this American agent, but secretly, he has always maintained contact with China. And after getting certain promises, officially put things on the table, and suddenly start.
With the decline of the United States, the French also began to gradually have their own ideas and ambitions, and were no longer afraid to directly block the control of Europe by the United States. And if France wants to control or influence the "direction" of the European Union, von der Leyen must be the first stumbling block to "kill".
