Seven members of the European Parliament visited Taiwan Province of China on Wednesday, and a Pla.Com military plane once again cruised taiwan to send seven clowns to the horse. It seems that this is already standard practice. Before the Visit of French lawmakers to Taiwan last month, PLA military planes also made such a move.
What should European parliamentarians think when they visit Taiwan? In essence, it can be said that it is nothing, but it reflects a phased feature of the current development of European institutions, that is, the anti-China vanguard of small European countries rushed into the European Parliament, the little devil became the king, and picked up the signboard of the European Parliament to do anti-China activities.
There are two groups of countries in the EU
The EU is basically composed of two types of countries, one is Germany and France, two big countries, they are the backbone of the EU, and they also have great power status in the world. The other category is the remaining medium-sized countries and small countries, which have little sense of existence and no right to speak in the international community.
Against the backdrop of the united states' all-round anti-China campaign, relations between Germany, France, and China can be said to be relatively stable. Although there was occasional noise, Germany and France generally maintained a calm and rational attitude toward China. This has to do with the great power ambitions of both countries.
Germany is pragmatic and has many interests of its own in the world. If you wantonly provoke China, you will have to give up your own interests. Coupled with Merkel's very sophisticated administration, firm support for multilateralism and globalization, and not allow ideology to interfere with pragmatic cooperation, it has ensured the smooth operation of Sino-German relations.
The French Gaul rooster has a sense of great power honor, although the economic strength is not as good as Germany, but always believes that it is a big country that can sit on an equal footing with the United States in terms of political and international status. Therefore, France is most reluctant to listen to the command of the United States, and even prefers to deliberately oppose the United States. Even if it wants to challenge China on some issues, it must find its own reasons and paths, and will never pander to the United States.
But the remaining small countries are not easy to say. Especially in Central and Eastern Europe, under the influence of the United States, several anti-China vanguards have emerged, including Lithuania, the Czech Republic, and Poland. These are the most obvious. In other EU countries, there are more or less anti-China voices, but they will not become the mainstream. Now these countries have entered the European Union, with a small and broad, packaging their voices into the voice of the European Parliament.
The Joker is not coming from the right place
After years of consolidation, EU institutions have gradually begun to speak with one voice. This allows european parliamentarians in these small countries to bring their own voices into the European Parliament, thus packaging their own anti-China ideas as the EU's anti-China tone to provoke China. This is the reason for the visit of European parliamentarians to Taiwan this time. Let's take a look at the list of visits.
According to the list of delegations published by inse, this line is by
Led by Raphaël Glucksmann, a French member of the European Parliament,
Members include former Lithuanian Prime Minister andrius Kubilius,
Czech parliamentarian Markéta Gregorová),
Austrian mp andreas schieder,
Lithuanian parliamentarian Petras auštrevičius,
Greek parliamentarian Georgios Kyrtsos,
Marco Dreosto, an Italian parliamentarian.
Of the seven parliamentarians, Lithuania has two, the Czech Republic and the rest are basically small and medium-sized countries. Only France is a great power. The French lawmaker Gluxman, who was sanctioned by the Chinese side earlier this year for his anti-China smear on China, is obviously a broken jar.
Not only are these parliamentarians from the wrong path and cannot represent Europe and the European Union, but even they themselves dare not make a big publicity to express their support for Taiwan's position.
The reason they gave themselves a visit was to go to Taiwan to learn some anti-telecommunications fraud experience, and they simply could not get on the table. The whole trip is not open, and all are handled in a low-key manner, saying that it is for safety. Security is fake, and not getting mainstream permission from the European Parliament is the real reason.
The Global Times editorial is very well said, these clowns:
In many cases, it is equivalent to China's "online big v", because many of them are not famous, or even only equivalent to "medium v" or "small v".
The Western system determines that many parliamentarians will be "anti-China", and it also determines that their administrative officials will "break their mouths" at some point, catering to the general dissatisfaction and extreme sentiment of China's rise at home.
To put it bluntly, they are not characters at all, and they have no weight.
Therefore, For such European parliamentarians, China can completely ignore them. Giving them a head-to-head drink is China's best response, and it must let them know whether their mouths are hard or our fists are hard.
