Very excited, Macron sent 12 tweets in a row, tweets related to the visit of China's top leader.
When foreign dignitaries visit, Macron will also tweet, but he is far less diligent than Modi and Trump. But this time, it was so densely posted, there were more than 10 pieces at a time, and it was French and Chinese, which can only be said to be rare, rare, quite rare.
Macron seems to have been moved by real feelings and has put a lot of thought into it.
You know, just a few days ago, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida also visited France. I just looked at it again, and Macron only sent one tweet in French, one in Japanese, and two tweets.
Especially rare, Macron also specially sent four Chinese this time.
Tweeting in Chinese, what kind of friendly gesture this is, you should understand.
Let's talk about these four Chinese first.
First, welcome.
The picture distributed shows the two leaders shaking hands, Macron's left hand and patting the Chinese leader's right arm, behind which is a French military band playing.
Macron wrote: On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, and your third state visit to France, President Xi Jinping, welcome!
The scene was very warm and harmonious.
Second, various issues.
In the distributed picture, the Chinese leader is in the middle, von der Leyen is on the left, and Macron on the right is talking.
Macron writes: trade and market access, fair competition and investment, the situation in Ukraine and the Middle East: relations between China and Europe, coordination between us, are decisive.
Decisive significance, that's not just talking.
Third, the Pyrenees.
The picture distributed is outside the wooden house of the post station, the two leaders hold an umbrella for their wives, watching the shepherd's dance of the local villagers, dancing in a chic manner, and the spring snow is flying.
Macron spoke particularly emotionally, saying: "Through the sharing of our personal stories, our relationship is gradually taking shape, and it is a great pleasure to receive you at the Turmalai Pass in the Pyrenees, President Xi Jinping, this place means a lot to me, just as you received me in Guangzhou."
Fourth, farewell.
In the video distributed, Macron and his wife were sent all the way to the gangway of the cabin, and the leaders and his wife shook hands and said goodbye.
"Thank you for your friendly and candid exchanges, which are essential for the balance of our two countries and the world," Macron wrote. Good bye.
This is still a tweet in Chinese, in fact, these four Chinese, Macron also sent in French.
Among Macron's other French tweets, there is also his high opinion of China.
For example, when it comes to the situation in the Middle East, he said: We share the same concerns and goals as China.
Talking about the Ukrainian issue, he said that in order to achieve a lasting and just peace in Ukraine, it is also very important to fully respect international law and the UN Charter, and to coordinate with China.
Speaking about the truce during the Olympic Games, he said that this is an appeal from France to the whole world during the Paris Olympics and thanked China for its support.
Finally, what do you think?
Let's go three points.
First, Macron is indeed not simple.
Although he is very young, as the undisputed brother in Europe now, Macron dares to speak up and is very bold. I remember when he was in China, he also told the Chinese leaders: Our two countries have similar tempers.
What temper?
Unwilling to listen to other people's dictations.
Last year's trip to China, as well as the Chinese leader's trip to France, seem to have given Macron a great shock and thought. So, this time, he personally accompanied him to the Pyrenees, which meant a lot to him.
Therefore, he also particularly felt that the relationship between China and the EU, and the coordination between us, is of decisive significance.
Second, the art of diplomacy is impressive.
Macron's foresight is admirable. But we must also be aware of China's diplomatic art.
Isn't there a entanglement between China and France? Isn't there a contradiction between China and Europe?
There must also be some of them, and we all see the recent trade protectionism of the West. But insults and intimidation are not battles, the key is how to play and how to crack.
It takes patience, it takes communication, it takes the art of diplomacy.
I remember that in Guangzhou last year, the Chinese side also specially arranged a female pianist to play "Mountains and Flowing Water". The Chinese leader said to Macron: The thousand-year-old guqin plays a thousand-year-old swan song, and the mountains and rivers sigh for the sound of the voice......
Such an arrangement surprised Macron very much, and he deliberately asked to leave the score. This time, he accompanied the Chinese leader to the Pyrenees, and he also recalled with emotion: I was deeply and fond of last year's visit to China, especially the Songyuan meeting in Guangzhou......
The mountains and rivers are deeply hidden. The relationship between the two countries is even more unusual.
What is the Art of Diplomacy?
This is the art of diplomacy.
Third, we still need to be sober and confident.
Soberness means that we must see that the West is the West after all, and that the West has differences but is more in unison, and that we should not have unrealistic illusions, but listen to its words and watch its deeds.
Self-confidence is more important for us to see that national interests come first, Europe is also waking up, France is even more reluctant to become a vassal of the United States, not to mention, China's market and opportunities, the world does not want to miss out.
Therefore, Macron gave a very high level of courtesy to the visit of the Chinese leader, and China and France are indeed close to each other on many specific issues.
The great changes in the world that have not been seen in a century are not simply white or black, let alone rash.
Specifically, at a time when the United States is all-round containment, containment, and suppression of China, it is certainly not a bad thing for China for Europe to maintain its strategic autonomy, maintain a fair position, and distance itself from the United States.
So, we have to prepare for the worst, but we have to do our best to get the best results. We must be of the same mind, we must have the art of playing, we must unite all those who can be united, and we must do our own things well.
If China has a lot of friends and a few enemies, why should China be afraid of this?
