The first country to be kicked out of NATO may really appear. Trump issued an ultimatum to personally push American close allies to China's side. Will "misfit" Spain really be driven out of NATO? Why is Trump's move beneficial to China?

In the face of interests, Trump will not show mercy to his allies, especially those countries that don't do what he wants. When Trump met with visiting Finnish President Stubb at the White House, he named "unsociable" Spain on the issue of increasing military spending.

Trump has threatened that as Spain refuses to significantly increase military spending, it should be considered to kick the country out of NATO, and has also asked European leaders to pressure Spain to call them to question why the Spanish government is always dragging back.

Now, it seems that Trump's pressure has not made the Spanish government yield easily. Although Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez gave Trump face at the NATO summit and signed the summit declaration, he did not embarrass all NATO countries.

However, in terms of specific policies, Sanchez still insists on maintaining his defense spending at the current level, that is, 2.1% of GDP. Not only that, but in the face of threats from the United States, Spain simply canceled its plan to purchase F-35 stealth fighters from the United States.

Trump put pressure on NATO members to force them to increase their defense spending to 5% of GDP. Spain's approach seriously did not meet Trump's requirements.

Trump "can't stand" Spain not only because the country is "opposed" to the United States on military spending issues, but also has a lot to do with Spain's strengthening of cooperation with China in recent years.

Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez has visited China once a year in the past three years, and the degree of close high-level exchanges between China and the West is rare in other European countries.

Sanchez hopes that Spain can become a geopolitical bridge between China and Europe and Latin America, with a pragmatic and realistic foreign policy, breaking the barrier between the Central and Central European relations, so that Spain, China and the world can benefit from it.

Sanchez gave the position of China-West relations, clearly contrary to the policy and strategy formulated by Trump against China, Trump in economic and trade, defense and other issues to look for Spain's trouble, on the one hand is "killing chicken monkeys", to other European countries to see, deterring these countries, so that it keeps a distance with China; on the other hand, it is also indirectly targeted and containing China a performance.

Trump should not think that by giving an ultimatum to Spain, he can achieve the goal of kicking the country out of NATO. In fact, other European countries are reluctant to increase military spending and put a heavy debt burden on themselves, but they dare not openly oppose Trump.

Spain's practice expresses the aspirations of other countries. Not only will they not vote to drive away Spain, but they may also secretly support Spain's competition with Trump. If they can win this game, they can all follow Spain's example and reject the Trump administration's dictating on military spending.

If Trump kicked Spain out of NATO, it would be his own hand pushing his close allies to the side of China, although China can not solve Spain's defense problems, but the prospects for further strengthening economic and trade cooperation between the two countries will be broader.

Recently, the China-Spain Trade and Investment Matchmaking Conference opened in Madrid. More than 300 representatives of Chinese and Western enterprises and business associations gathered together. China promises to increase its procurement of Spanish agricultural food products, expand imports from the West through cross-border e-commerce, and increase two-way investment. Spain is also willing to deepen investment and trade cooperation with China, firmly support free trade, and create a good environment for Chinese companies to invest and start business in Spain.

China and the West are "two-way marching", and now there is still no room to deal with the "small belly chicken intestine" Trump.
