In the near future, Chinese leaders will visit France, Serbia and Hungary. However, there was a small episode during the state visit to France, and there was suddenly a "trilateral meeting between China and Europe and France" in the itinerary, and European Commission President von der Leyen suddenly appeared in France to attend the meeting. This reminds people of the last time French President Macron visited China, von der Leyen also came to visit, and she didn't even get on Macron's special plane, and she flew over by herself, and China only received her politely. She seems to be staring at Macron specifically, and she follows wherever she goes, is she really afraid that Macron will make a name for herself in private? After all, Macron has previously said things like "NATO is brain dead", "Europe may die", and "should not be a vassal of the United States". And von der Leyen, who closely monitors Macron, is also ridiculed as a supervisor sent by the United States to Europe. Von der Leyen was once supported by Macron and former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, in the words of foreign media, the two joined forces, "von der Leyen unexpectedly became the president of the European Commission", but now France and Germany have changed their attitudes.
Not long ago, Macron publicly criticized von der Leyen for being "too politicized" and that the role of the President of the European Commission is to defend the interests of the whole, not to be overly politicized. Recently, a number of media have revealed that Macron has begun to communicate with Italian Prime Minister Meloni and other European leaders, preparing to let former Italian Prime Minister and ECB President Draghi replace von der Leyen's position. Elections for the position are due in two months, and von der Leyen is campaigning for the next five-year term while also trying to run for the post of NATO secretary general. Von der Leyen is German, what is Germany's attitude? When the United States offered to take over as NATO secretary general, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz strongly opposed it. Judging from the attitude of the United States and France, Germany and Italy towards her, it actually verifies the long-circulated claim that she is an "agent and puppet" planted by the United States in Europe. What she did during the Russia-Ukraine conflict speaks for itself, putting American interests ahead of European interests. To deprive Europe of cheap Russian energy, and now to make Europe lose its most important market, China, is tantamount to cutting off its own arms.
Prior to this, she promoted the investigation of China's electric vehicle and photovoltaic industries, repeatedly emphasized getting rid of dependence on Chinese supply chains, and her policies were all to follow the United States. Now that the United States is hyping up the problem of "overcapacity", she has begun to parrot this idea in Europe again. She also mentioned this trilateral meeting between China, France and Europe, and obviously came to make trouble. The French finance minister said that he welcomed Chinese electric vehicle companies to invest and build factories in France, but von der Leyen criticized that "China's electric vehicles and steel are flooding the EU market, and China should take the initiative to reduce exports." China's response is also very direct, China's new energy industry has cultivated real skills in open competition, representing advanced production capacity. It not only enriches global supply and alleviates global inflationary pressure, but also makes great contributions to the global response to climate change and green transformation. Whether from the perspective of comparative advantage or global market demand, there is no so-called "China's overcapacity problem".
Generally speaking, China has become a representative of advanced productive forces by virtue of its ability, and you should honestly accept it if you fall behind. Why is the U.S. hyping up this concept lately? It's because I'm in a hurry. If we had been offering cheap products, they wouldn't have said we had overcapacity. Now, when we start picking the "industrial pearls", they jump out and accuse China of producing too many things, just because it is difficult to let them live in strange goods and make money lying on the monopoly of technology. This is not overcapacity, but the green industrial revolution, this is the concept that you first put forward in the West, China's green industry has caught up, and now Europe and the United States have begun to play tricks if they can't play. The United States always wants to unite Europe to "decouple and break the chain" with China, but there are also differences within Europe, so we should exert our strength from their cracks, so France, Serbia, and Hungary that we chose to visit this time can be regarded as relatively independent "thorns", and their three countries are the breakthrough and the key for us to open the high-end market in Europe.
