The Chinese leader visited France and held a very important meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace in Paris, during which the two sides had in-depth exchanges on many aspects.
The Chinese leader stressed that the two countries should adhere to the principle of independent diplomacy and jointly resist the threat of a "new Cold War" and the trap of bloc confrontation.
The United States is trying to rally its Western allies into the formation of an opposing camp in the "new Cold War", especially against China and Russia, which advocate multipolarization and democratization of state-to-state relations.
The process of the Sino-French talks
Beginning on May 5, China's top leaders set off for Europe, with France as their first stop. After the Chinese visit, Macron also gave the highest courtesy, which can be seen from here that Macron attaches great importance to the arrival of Chinese guests.
China's arrival is obviously aimed at defusing the world crisis, after all, France before was more like a subsidiary of the United States in terms of behavior. We all know that the United States has always been relatively repulsive to China, and in the face of the United States' approach, France has no choice but to do the same.
But during the Sino-French talks, Macron publicly said that he did not want to distance himself from China. Although the United States has suppressed China in all aspects, and has also rallied European countries to boycott Chinese products.
But this time, Macron's statement obviously does not want to stand on the opposite side of China, and he also believes that Europe should get closer to China and achieve more development in future cooperation. This is a very good development trend between the two countries.
In recent years, France has also interacted with China several times a year in order to be able to break free from the control of the United States. The two countries have reached a number of cooperation agreements in finance, science and technology, agriculture, energy and other fields, which is also a strong response to the "decoupling theory between China and the EU".
Cooperation between France and China
Sixty years ago, France was the first Western power to formally establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China. The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the West has opened the door to exchanges and cooperation between China and the West. In the past 60 years, China-France relations have always been at the forefront of China's relations with Western countries.
France has been a regional power in Europe since ancient times, and it is also one of the European powers, especially in modern times, whether it is the "Sun King" Louis XIV or later Napoleon, they have led France to achieve the glory of the world.
Strengthening Sino-French cooperation will not only help promote the development of China-France and even China-EU relations, but also help accelerate the development of new productive forces. Promote China's high-quality development and high-level opening-up, and inject stabilizer, positive energy and growth into the world.
The special friendship between China and France comes from the foundation of mutual respect and trust between the two sides. Looking ahead, China's "special friends and win-win partners" will hand over the baton of history, stick to the original aspiration of establishing diplomatic relations, and push China-France relations to a new level.
Moreover, the cooperation agreement between the two countries covers bilateral cooperation, international governance, the Middle East issue, AI risk prevention and other fields. It is also a clear signal of deepening the strategic partnership between the two countries.
The economic cooperation between China and France has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and is inseparable. As France's trading giant in Asia, China's position can be imagined. At the same time, France is firmly on the throne of China's fourth largest trading partner in Europe, and the mutually beneficial and win-win situation between the two sides continues to consolidate.
Add to this the fact that China and France have a long history of cooperation in the field of science and technology, from civil nuclear energy to the aircraft industry to cooperation on electric ships. All of them have deepened the cooperation between China and France in the field of science and technology.
The talks also led to the signing of 18 bilateral cooperation agreements between China and France in the fields of economy, trade, science and technology, and people-to-people relations. The signing of this agreement is of great significance for promoting Sino-French cooperation in the fields of economy and culture, as well as jointly addressing global challenges.
Although the majority of developing countries oppose the US approach, the West is not one and the same. For so many years, because of the strength of the United States, many countries dare not speak out, and they want to find a way to get rid of the control of the United States over their economy. In European countries, the position of France is very clear.
Macron's big gift to Putin
According to CCTV news reports, on May 7, local time, Putin officially rescued the eighth president of Russia. The inauguration of Russian President Vladimir Putin took place in the Kremlin.
On the same day, Putin put his right hand on the Russian Constitution and solemnly swore that he would abide by and defend the Constitution of the country, respect and safeguard civil liberties and rights, defend national sovereignty, independence, security, and territorial integrity, and faithfully serve the people.
Putin's inauguration ceremony was attended by more than 2,500 invited guests, mainly senior Russian government officials and celebrities.
Some of the European powers, such as Germany and the United Kingdom, were absent, but the French delegation, which is also a European power, still appeared on the scene and became the focus of the audience.
It has previously stated that it wants to get rid of the economic control of the United States, which also makes France an outlier among EU countries. And a few months ago, Macron publicly said that France would send troops to Ukraine instead of being a coward.
Although Putin was elected president this time, the Western powers, led by the United States, refused to participate. However, France resolutely participated in Putin's inauguration ceremony despite the eyes of European countries.
This is obviously a big gift to Putin, and it is really sending relevant personnel to attend Putin's inauguration. After all, at a time when many Western countries are boycotting Russia, France can make such a choice, which can be said to show enough respect for Putin.
In addition, this Sino-French meeting has also allowed France and China to reach a solid cooperation. France is also steadily reducing its dependence on the United States, a trend that is evident at the military and economic levels, and Macron is committed to distancing himself from the United States.
While Macron is strengthening relations with China, he is also trying to improve relations with Russia. This also shows that France does not want to become a subordinate of the United States and does not want to participate in the "new Cold War" and bloc confrontation.
The United States unilaterally started a "new Cold War" against China
Since the second half of the Trump administration, the United States has built the prototype of a "new Cold War" against China. It's just that at that time, Trump's slogan was still "America First". Since Biden took office, the "new Cold War" against China has become more and more perfect.
Although the Biden administration has repeatedly stated that it has no intention of breaking out into conflict with China, the United States has politically isolated China, engaged in economic decoupling, and militarily strategically encircled China. All this proves that the United States has unilaterally provoked a "new Cold War" against China.
After all, China has slowly developed and grown, and the peak of the power of the United States appeared in 1945, and now the peak of the United States has passed, coupled with the serious virtualization of the American economy, in which the GPD change is generally related to finance.
If this trend continues, it is only a matter of time before China takes over the position of the United States as the largest economic power. And some elites in the United States believe that this is not just a matter of profit, but also a matter of "survival."
From a military point of view, from the Korean Peninsula to the South China Sea, the Western Pacific, Australia. The United States has continued to deploy its military against China, and China has also been countering external interference and constantly promoting the strategic development of its naval and air forces.
Now that the United States has officially launched a "new Cold War strategic model toward China," it can be said that the next decade will be a crucial decade, and the best way out is to look for opportunities to achieve its own rapid development and make the United States' encirclement self-defeating.
China is in the camp of "anti-power blocs", and its major economic and trade partners belong to the camp of "power blocs", which also brings a series of problems to China. The intensification of the Russia-Ukraine conflict will promote the decoupling of China from the US and Western economic systems, thereby intensifying the confrontation between China and the United States.
The United States is also suppressing China in many ways, still hoping to maintain its status as the world hegemon. Among them, the electric vehicle industry is one of the important areas for the United States to target China, and in order to be able to compete with China in this field, the U.S. government withdrew from the bill to encourage the production of electric vehicles in North America.
If the timeline is extended, the United States will ban the sale of advanced lithography machines, restrict Xinjiang cotton, and start a trade war. It can be said that everything is done, and the most absurd thing is that the United States has reduced the price of the key life science and technology "Oxford 6 Generation" as high as 135,000 yuan, just to limit the popularization in China.
The "new Cold War" was still the prototype proposed by Clinton, and China began to develop rapidly in 1993, and by 1998, China ranked sixth in the world's comprehensive national strength ranking, which made Clinton realize that China's huge size and unique consciousness have posed a potential threat.
Since the Biden administration took office, the United States has repeatedly claimed that it "does not fight a cold war with China," but it has regarded China as the most serious threat. In order to be able to suppress China, the Biden administration has spared no effort to form political factions.
At present, China should still develop steadily, and only when the overall comprehensive strength soars rapidly, and only when China is strong, can it take most of the initiative into its own hands, so as to contain the United States' restrictions on China.
After all, it is very obvious that the United States has used all kinds of means to deal with China. In this case, China can still develop steadily, then the offensive and defensive situation between China and the United States may be completely reversed, after all, China has been steadily fighting step by step from weak to strong, and it will definitely be stronger in the future.
