Last month, in an effort to attract foreign companies to invest in britain, British Prime Minister Johnson attended a "global investment summit". At the meeting, British Prime Minister Johnson suddenly made overtures to China, telling the media that For a long time to come, China will be a large part of Britain's economic life, and britain has never recognized any Chinese threats, saying that the British government "will not make a big accusation against investors from China." Johnson's remarks of favor with China cannot help but give people a sense that Britain may adjust its China policy.
If Johnson's remarks only give people a feeling, then in a report released by the British House of Lords recently, it can be determined that the British prime minister has indeed begun to wake up and understand that it is necessary to make good friends with China, not bad people. For now, the House of Lords believes that serious policy needs to be clarified, that it is time to abandon the ridiculous argument that China poses a threat to Britain, without using vague and harsh words like "systemic competition.".
The analysis believes that the reason why Johnson will show at the moment that the British must abandon the Chinese threat and say that it will quickly move closer to China is mainly because the United States and Europe are too "cold-blooded and ruthless". Due to the issue of fishing rights, Britain and France have had fierce diplomatic conflicts in recent times, coupled with the fact that, not long ago, Britain also pried the submarine order signed by France and Australia, adding up new hatreds and old grudges, which made France's policy toward Britain more tough and extreme.
At present, the French side has announced that it has drawn up a list of sanctions against the United Kingdom and is preparing to impose sanctions on relevant British individuals and entities. At the same time, France also announced that it would conduct stricter inspections of British freighters and trucks passing through French territory and territorial waters, and that British ships would not want to enter French ports to unload their cargo. In addition, France has threatened to cut off Britain's energy supply pipelines and stop supplying power to British territories. There is no doubt that if France puts all these subsequent threats into practice, britain's already bad economic and livelihood environment will become even worse.
It is worth mentioning that when Britain is in trouble, the United States, as its "staunchest ally", in order to get France's forgiveness on the submarine issue, even the president rarely admits his mistakes in the submarine storm, and uses this way of punching himself in the face to repair relations with France. For this reason, the United States, which even punched itself in the face, directly pretended that there was no such thing as Britain, which was seriously threatened by France, let alone aided Britain, an ally.
Therefore, in the case of internal and external difficulties, the British had to look at China. However, China must be vigilant against such behavior. In many ways, although the United States did not help Britain in the matter of the Anglo-French fisheries conflict, britain and the United States were essentially the same. In recent years, the United States has seen China as an adversary, tightening its containment and containment of China, especially since Trump took office. However, while launching a strategy to contain China, the United States has often sent signals that it wants to engage in dialogue with China. This set of rules, just like the Current Britain, only when the domestic crisis is not resolved, they begin to hope for Chinese assistance. 【Three Soils】
