Everyone should know that China and Russia have been holding meetings at the highest level in the past two days, and the two sides have had very good talks, very pleasant meetings, and reached a lot of consensus.
I have seen the name of a country mentioned many times in the joint statement of China and Russia, and it was mentioned in a warning and "condemnation" tone. Everyone knows this country, and that is: the United States of America!
As a matter of fact, the US side has also paid close attention to and attached great importance to this high-level strategic meeting between China and Russia.
When asked about Sino-Russian relations at a regular press conference on May 16 local time, US State Department Deputy Spokesman Patel said: "China cannot have both fish and bear's paws."
"It is unlikely that China will want to deepen relations with Europe and other countries while continuing to fuel Russia, the biggest threat to European security for a long time," Patel said. ”
The meaning of this passage is very simple, and it probably says two meanings:
First, the country that poses the greatest threat to European security now is Russia;
Second, we cannot maintain close relations with Russia while at the same time trying to deepen relations with Europe and other countries.
To put it bluntly: according to the meaning of the Americans, we can only choose "fish" or "bear's paw"; You can't have both "fish meat" and "bear's paw meat"; You have to choose one or the other.
The Americans are obviously suspected of sowing discord, and they are sowing discord between us and Russia and between us and Europe.
According to the logic of the Americans: Russia and Europe are enemies, so if we have good relations with Russia, we will naturally become enemies of Europe.
As we all know, China and the United States are currently in a state of full-scale competition, and Europe and the European Union are very important to us. In terms of economy, science and technology, we will also carry out extensive cooperation with Europe.
Now that the Americans have come out to express such a view, this is obviously a bad heart, obviously a deliberate rhythm that stumbles on us.
Personally, I have three small opinions on this!
First, it is already a fact that China and Russia have developed friendly and strategic relations. No matter what opinions and opinions you have, I don't think it's useful.
Second, will the "upgraded" relationship between China and Russia affect China-EU relations? I don't know now, and I can't say right now.
Third, since you have chosen, then you have to bear the corresponding consequences, everyone is an adult, you can't just choose not to bear, I'm afraid it won't work!
