After China introduced new rules on rare earth exports, the EU remained silent for five days, or decided to raise the table? not only should the G7 unite with China, but also suggested that Chinese companies must hand over core technology to invest in Europe, otherwise they will not let in.

During those five days of silence in the EU, what was it secretly planning? It says that Chinese enterprises need to hand over technology before investing. Is this really for "fairness"? How will China respond to the EU's tough measures?

China's new rare earth regulations this time were originally controlled in accordance with internationally accepted rules and are completely legal and compliant. After all, rare earths are originally dual-use for military and civilian purposes. Export applications used to manufacture weapons of mass destruction, terrorism or military purposes are "not allowed in principle". Applications for manufacturing chips, semiconductors, etc. will be carefully reviewed and approved. These are all things that countries often do to safeguard national security.

Moreover, China has also emphasized that as long as it meets the requirements, it will be approved.

But the United States, no matter how much, Trump directly spoke, saying that to impose 100% tariffs on China, is simply to interpret the "accelerated degradation" to the full. but did not think that the day the U.S. stock market encountered the "black Friday", the three major stocks fingers fell into confusion, Wall Street a mourning.

The reaction of the European Union was very tasty, after the new regulations came out, it was silent enough for 5 days. During these 5 days, the European Union was not leisurely, while in the internal emergency negotiations, while quietly contacting the United States. After all, 70% of the euro area rare earth is imported from China, even the US Microsoft, Apple and these technology enterprises used rare earth raw materials, and finally most of China.

Five days later, the EU finally failed.

First, the European Commissioner said that he would work with G7 allies to take a "strong response" to China's new rare earth regulations, and said that he would not rule out learning from the United States to take tough measures. The Danish Foreign Minister said directly: Europe and the United States are natural partners, and only by uniting can China change its approach. The meaning is obvious, that is, it wants to hug the thigh of the United States and force China to make concessions by the large number of people.

Moreover, the EU also intends to write the tough conditions for Chinese enterprises into the "Industrial Acceleration Act" proposal. In addition to forcing Chinese enterprises to transfer technology, it also requires that Chinese enterprises when producing in Europe, must use a certain proportion of EU goods, employ EU labor, some areas even to compel to form joint ventures.

In the face of the unreasonable demands of the European Union, China¡¯s attitude is very clear.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China used three "objections" to clarify the bottom line: oppose forced technology transfer that violates WTO rules, oppose interference in the normal production and operation activities of enterprises, and oppose protectionism and discriminatory practices under the pretext of enhancing competitiveness.

To put it bluntly, China will never accept this kind of "robbery".

And the EU is now this practice, although it has released a strong signal to China, but is also digging for itself. If the Chinese enterprises are unwilling to transfer technology and withdraw from the European market, the EU will lose the investment and cooperation opportunities brought by the Chinese enterprises; even if some Chinese enterprises are forced to compromise, this cooperation achieved by compulsory means, sooner or later will conflict because of the problem of trust.

To put it bluntly, the European Union and its minds "shake the table" to press Chinese enterprise technology, rather than think about how to solve their problems. with the Chinese side on the ground and in practice cooperation, is not stronger than to engage in confrontation? has always held the protectionist idea not to let go, in the end will only lift the stone and knock their feet.

The scale of China's economic and trade relations is large, and win-win cooperation is the only right way.
