Greece is an ancient civilization like China, and although it belongs to European countries, unlike some European countries that are two-faced and short-sighted, the relations between Greece and China have always been relatively stable. Recently, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Greece, and the Greek prime minister said that he "does not agree with the international 'anti-China, anti-China, anti-China' remarks."
Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited four European countries
It is reported that there are four countries in Foreign Minister Wang Yi's trip to Europe, and the first one chose Greece, which also reflects the importance that China attaches to friendly relations with Greece.
On October 27, local time, Wang Yi held talks with Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis. Mitsotakis said that all along, the Greek side has attached great importance to the development of relations with the Chinese side, and does not agree with some so-called "anti-China and china-fear" remarks in the international community. He said Greece and China share similarities in many ways, such as the same profundity. The meeting between the two sides is of great significance.
According to media reports, the four European countries visited by Minister Wang Yi this time are all good partners of the Chinese side in Europe. The first is that the European Parliament recently issued a so-called "Taiwan-related report", and the Chinese side must eliminate its negative impact as soon as possible.
In addition, recently some Eastern European countries, such as the Czech Republic, have frequently made a big fuss about the Taiwan issue and even invited officials of the Taiwan authorities to "visit." China's visit to Europe is also aimed at eliminating the negative impact of this information.
Three messages from China to Europe
The reason why China chose to take the lead in visiting Greece is to send three messages to Europe. The first is the desire to work with Europe to promote the Olympic spirit. It is now very close to the winter Olympics, and the leaders involved in the event are also on the list. The choice of Greece as the first stop of the visit is to send a signal to Europe to welcome the European side to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The second is to express a vision of connectivity with Europe. It is worth mentioning that the port of Piraeus, jointly built by China and Greece, has become the largest port in the Mediterranean region, which is inseparable from China's investment support. The project is also the flagship project of Sino-Greek "Belt and Road" cooperation.
The third is to express the idea of dialogue with European civilizations. In fact, China and the European side are far apart, and there are no geopolitical contradictions between the two sides. And from January to September this year, the total trade between China and the EU increased by 30% over the same period, approaching $600 billion. China's economic and trade exchanges with the European side are win-win. However, under the manipulation of the United States, Europe has recently frequently targeted China and passed the so-called "Taiwan-related bill," which will inevitably affect the development of Sino-European relations.
