From May 5 to May 10, the Chinese side visited the country at the highest level at the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron, Serbian President Vučić, and Hungarian President.
In this context, according to the global network, French President Vučić suddenly called out the United States and said that Europe will never be a vassal of the United States.
EU-China relations
Relations between China and Europe have always been deeply disturbed by the United States. During Blinken's visit to China a few days ago, he hyped up the remarks that "China supports Russia" in order to offset the positive results achieved by European countries in China.
Not only that, after hyping up the so-called "overcapacity", the United States has also instigated European countries to target China's new energy electric vehicle industry.
Under these circumstances, China's visit to the three European countries is also aimed at improving relations between China and Europe.
As for why these three European countries. First of all, Serbia and Hungary have always been more rational and pragmatic among European countries, and they have always firmly supported the one-China policy.
In particular, Hungary, as the backbone of Europe's insistence on the independence of foreign and economic policies, has always opposed the EU's disregard for the damage to its own interests, and it also wants to cooperate with the US policy of containing China.
However, Serbia and Hungary's influence in Europe is still limited, and their voice is not high enough. In contrast, France, as a European power, has more influence and a stronger voice.
Strengthening bilateral relations with France will inevitably extend to China-EU relations.
Moreover, not long ago, French President Emmanuel Macron visited China and set the tone for Sino-French relations and future development.
This visit to France is bound to further deepen the cooperation and exchanges between the two sides.
France is calling out the United States
It is worth mentioning that in this context, French President Emmanuel Macron put forward a statement that Europe is now in danger of extinction.
Therefore, the countries of Europe should unite and thus build a "strong Europe". In order to ensure Europe's security, it is also necessary to establish a "credible European defense system".
The United States has always had troops stationed in Europe. The number depends on the situation. The United States also regards Europe as its sphere of influence, such as during the Russia-Ukraine conflict, it actively worked with NATO countries to secretly oppose Russia.
Now Macron's sudden proposal to build a "credible European defense system" naturally conflicts with the American idea.
Not only that, Macron also talked about "nuclear weapons", making the outside world think that Macron was trying to smash the United States. Speaking of excitement, Macron also stated that "Europe will never be a vassal of the United States".
In fact, Macron's dissatisfaction with the United States has long been reflected. Although on the surface, the relationship between the two sides is good, but the actual concept is still very conflicting, and Macron has always wanted to drive the United States out of Europe.
After taking office in 2017, Macron has repeatedly put forward the idea of reshaping Europe, and bluntly said that this is to deal with Russia and the United States.
Some say that this is Macron's pursuit of an old dream of Gaullistism, under the leadership of France, to build a Europe with military and geopolitical autonomy.
And the current situation does give Macron hope. For example, after the United Kingdom left the European Union, the only country in the EU that possessed nuclear weapons was France.
If it is really what Macron thinks, then France will then replace the United States in Europe. The strategic autonomy of Europe that Macron wants is no longer a dream.
But at the moment, it seems that what Macron wants to achieve is still very difficult. Because France alone will never be able to replace the United States.
After all, after the end of World War II, European countries began to rely deeply on the United States. This relationship has lasted for almost 80 years.
France also needs more support from more countries to move this process forward.
