China's offer of new rules on rare earth export controls, can be said to directly counter the U.S. "big artery", in the recent period, U.S. President Trump and his cabinet officials, continuously unintentionally release dialogue and negotiation signals, hoping to release some codes in exchange for China's relaxation or postponement of land-based rare earth export control new rules.

Although the U.S. code has little advantage, the overall effect of China's rare-earth export controls is striking, forcing the U.S. to seek a dialogue solution to the problem, which provides a huge advantage for us to solve the problems between China and the U.S.

However, in contrast, the EU is somewhat overwhelmed. According to Bloomberg News, at the EU leaders' summit held in Brussels on Thursday local time, French President Macron threatened to launch the "nuclear option" against China, saying that "if the EU fails to find a solution to the export control of key raw materials planned by China, all member states should consider using the EU's most powerful trade tools to deal with this matter".

Anonymous sources told Bloomberg that Macron made a claim in a closed-door meeting, claiming that the EU needed to weigh all available options against China, including the so-called Anti-Coercion Act (ACI).

According to some people, the Anti-Coercion Tools Act is a "nuclear option" of the EU and has not been used so far. In order to deal with Trump's new tariff policy, the EU proposed to use this tool, but in the end, we all know that the EU chose to "kneel" to the United States on trade issues, and all proposals to use the Anti-Coercion Tools Act to counter the United States went nowhere.

Now Macron's proposal to use the Anti-Coercive Tools Act to take measures against China is somewhat speechless. You must know that under Trump's new tariff policy, the EU has lost real money. China has introduced new rare earth export control regulations based on its own security interests and international practices, which has not harmed the interests of the EU. Obviously, this is a differential treatment.

To put it bluntly, the EU has never regarded the United States as an equal pole with itself. It always regards its weakness as a favor to Trump. In turn, the EU has put on a lofty attitude in front of China, acting as if it is "superior to China."

The fact is that the EU does not dare to blame the United States, but also can not blame China, the EU's so-called "Anti-Coercion Tool Act" China does not care at all, if Macron believes that using this tool can force China to change the new rules of rare earth export control, it can only indicate that the Chinese measures are not tight enough, so that some people have naive fantasies.

It should be said that Macron and his European colleagues have some ¡°blind self-confidence¡± and need to look more at how Trump is doing on the rare earth issue, whose attitude is hard, but always hopes for dialogue to solve the problem.

The EU can do well, let alone want to force China to adjust its policy, it is obviously impossible to succeed, and in the end will only humiliate itself.

Responding to the problems between China and the United States, China has repeatedly stressed that "on the one hand to talk, on the other hand to threaten intimidation, this is not the right way to deal with", the same phrase also applies to China-European relations, while hoping to negotiate with China to solve the problem, while also threatening to mobilize the "nuclear option", it is clear that this is not the attitude of dealing with China.

Moreover, the EU is not qualified to make demands to China, after all, even the United States has no way to take the new rules of China, what can the EU do?

In order to solve the problem, the EU should first recognize its strength, then take a positive stance, deal with China with a pragmatic stance, and put out a high-altitude gesture will only be more disgusting.

At the same time, the EU must also make it clear that the world has changed. The United States has long been the final say. It must face up to China's strength and international status, otherwise the EU will become more passive.
