Does Trump's words work? After Spain was threatened by the United States and kicked out of NATO, many Western countries lined up to visit China, and the next few days will be interesting.
Last week, Trump visited the White House in the face of Finnish President Stuart. Publicly issued a death order to Spain,"Either increase the military budget or get out of NATO."Trump complains that the Spanish boy has been dragging the back legs of NATO.
This is Surface is just threatening Spain, in fact Trump is beating all NATO members.Let them and the United States maintain a pace, add a little more defense spending, and share the pressure of the US military spending, and the second is how much money to do.
However, what Trump never expected was that his words, Instead of listening, Spain is visiting China, and it is not alone in France, Sweden and Canada are all going to ChinaTo know these guys, but they are all NATO members, and they are all American old friends, and they are publicly singing the counter, Trump's old face, really can't hang up.
According to the information released by the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Spanish Foreign Minister Alvares visited China on October 14-15; followed by French President's foreign affairs adviser Bonaire, also arranged a two-day trip on 15 and 16; sending Bonaire, China will also welcome Swedish Foreign Minister Steenagard and Canada's Foreign Minister Anand, both of whom set the date of visit to China on 16 to 17.
These four diplomatic activities are all the highlights, and each of them has something to watch. Spain will not go into detail. It came under Trump's threat. This sincerity in relations with China still carries considerable weight.
Boner's visit to China is to hold a new round of Chinese-French strategic dialogue with China, and he may also be giving Macron's visit to China to "take the front line". At present, Macron's days are not much better, the prime minister comes one step, and his domestic affairs make him a mess. If he can come to China at this time, make a few big contracts from the Chinese hand back, Macron will be able to "stand up".
Since the end of last year, French media has been blowing, claiming that Macron is preparing to visit China in 2025.
In addition, there is a cold knowledge that many people do not know: Sweden is the first Western country to establish relations with the new China, and this time it is mainly celebrating the 75th anniversary of the establishment of relations between the two countries. In addition, Sweden joined NATO two years ago, it is the new Aries in NATO.
In addition to Anand's visit to China, we may all know that China and Canada's relations have not been commonly cold in these years, and the well-known executive events have frozen the relations between the two countries for several years; secondly, as a neighbor of the United States, Canada has been following the United States behind, doing some provocative things to China.
This year, the relationship between China and China has slowly warmed up, the recent high-level interaction is intense, and the level is very high. Can the warm wind of Anand's visit to China, the "manager of the two sides" of the relationship between China and China, allow the two sides to return to the right track, it is worth looking forward to.
This intense multi-national Western visit to China, specifically to each country, has a point of view. From a larger perspective, this wave of diplomatic activities is also interesting, especially at this time, is more unusual.
Recently, the tariff war between China and the U.S. has moved, and Trump has revealed a “big tariff bar” to China. It is logical that Spain, France, Sweden and Canada, these Western countries, are to be pulled by Trump and joined hands to target China. The result is that they are now interacting with China, which is not a little “big change” meaning.
One signal isAt present, the Western camp is not only following the lead of the United States. Many Western countries do not trust the United States. This There is a crack in the camp, and this has a lot to do with Trump. Whether in his first term or back this time, Trump's diplomacy has not changed much, and it is still the same "America First" approach.
In Trump's eyes, there are no so-called western allies at all, only "American pawns". Whether the United States wants to develop relations with other western countries depends on whether these western countries have the value that can be used by the United States. Simply put, Trump only wants to bonus hunter on other western countries, and their demands have nothing to do with the United States.
Trump is so complete, Western allies are wary of the United States, although on the surface still attached to the United States, can be privately each of the calculators, no one does not leave a hand on the United States.
One more signalThat is.” Relations with China "are very importantThese Western countries are like mirrors in their hearts, knowing that whether it is a market or a supply chain, they must also rely on China.
Although there are sometimes contradictions with China, and there are differences in positions with China in some affairs, these Western countries ultimately dare not to tear their faces with China, which heads are heavy, which heads are light, they can still carry out.
