Just hanging out the phone call to the Chinese side, the European Union turned to disapprove, sanctioned 16 Chinese enterprises and vowed to use the trade "nuclear option" against China.

The EU has done this in a real way, so consuming the strategic mutual trust between China and Europe, the consequences can not be more than China unilaterally bear, within 24 hours, the Dutch Economy Minister Karemans and the European Union Trade and Security Commissioner Shevchenko continued to call China, on the importance of semiconductors, export control, the EU to China electric vehicle counter-subsidies and other key issues of the trade field, in fact, is to seek China to raise a high hand, not in the rare earth, semiconductor and other key fields to continue to implement counter-repression against European countries.

To this end, EU Trade and Security Commissioner Sevcovic also sent an invitation to our Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao to visit, hoping that he would visit Europe as soon as possible and hold face-to-face talks with the European side on issues of concern.

At the same time, the EU promised that it does not intend to escalate trade tensions and does not want to be repressed by China, stressing the importance of rapid resolution of the problem for the EU.

However, the Chinese side does not intend to compromise on the issue of rare-earth controls. Minister Wang Ventao told Shevchovich in a video conference that China's recent controls are a normal practice to improve China's export control system in accordance with the law, and China has been providing facilities for EU companies to approve.

The rare earth control "three steps" announced by China has now only been carried out to the first step, which came into force on November 8 respectively, the control of heavy rare earth, lithium battery negative materials, etc., has not yet begun.

Therefore, the Chinese side will not easily recover the fate until it sees the effect of the "rare-earth card".

Per through this phone call with China, the EU tested China's firm position.So, after hanging the phone, the EU turned to China and began to launch sanctions and retaliation against China.

It is worth mentioning that EU member states have approved the 19th round of sanctions against Russia. In this round of sanctions, four China oil-industry-related companies have been included in the sanctions list. In addition, there are 12 companies from mainland China and Hong Kong that have been listed as sanctioned entities by the EU. This is not the first time that the EU has included Chinese companies on the sanctions list, but it is considered to be the one with the greatest impact.

The European Union is not prepared for a good deal, the organization held a summit of leaders in Brussels on 23 October, mainly to discuss how the EU can take retaliatory action against China's rare-earth controls in the case of failure to reach a solution in Central Europe.

The EU's two "leading sheep" France and Germany have expressed their willingness to support the EU's retaliatory option against China, and Germany has even promised to use the "nuclear option" for trade with China, i.e. the launch of the "anti-coercion" mechanism.

Under the mechanism, the EU can use tools including aircraft components, old-fashioned deep ultraviolet engraving machines and high-precision bearings, and Europe is willing to retaliate against China by restricting trade with China in these fields.

What the European Union needs to understand is that it is relatively easy to disrupt relations with China, but there is no fundamental contradiction between China and Europe, and the European side has set up a chain off the chain against China, which is ultimately damaging and selfish.When the trade war between China and the United States is not settled, the EU should not act smoothly, otherwise the serious consequences are caused, and the EU is likely to be difficult to bear, urging the EU to think about it.
