Shang Long's "bombshell" thrown out in the Security Council has caused chaos in the Western world. [Full text reading]

The United States is actively looking for countermeasures, and European countries are also actively acting.

Westwood consulted the Secretary of State and Special Military Adviser on an emergency meeting of EU heads of state in Brussels. Opposed by Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Austria and other countries, the EU still has not reached an agreement on sanctions against China. Subsequently, the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom held a closed-door meeting to discuss the response.

Although diplomacy is a high-level political struggle based on national strength, "morality" is still a factor that cannot be ignored in the exchanges between major powers. After the outbreak of the "Japanese War", European countries unanimously accused China of causing a "humanitarian disaster" by unprovoked attacks on Japan's civilian nuclear facilities, resulting in the threat of radioactive contamination of hundreds of millions of Japanese civilians. With the hype of the Western news media, many Europeans thought of the Nazis' genocidal policy, and many Europeans regarded China as a Nazi country. Although Japan carried out a strategic nuclear strike first, and China carried out a strategic counterattack later, there are still many Europeans who are swayed by the Western news media and do not see the facts.

The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and European governments were caught off guard.

By sending nuclear warheads to Taipei, Japan has already de facto used nuclear weapons against China itself, and it would be reasonable for China to completely destroy Japan with strategic nuclear weapons. China has only bombed Japan's nuclear facilities, but it has been lenient.

The problem is not that simple.

When Japan sends nuclear bombs of ballistic missiles to Taiwan, will it send "suitcase-type" to somewhere else? Thinking about it at a deeper level, will Japan send a "dirty bomb" loaded with nuclear materials to China itself, such as a megacity with a population of tens of millions?

In order to ensure the strategic security of the country, China has a reason to strike at all nuclear facilities in Japan!

The same thing happened to European countries, such as Britain and France, and they will definitely carry out a full-scale counterattack against the enemy country!

The European Union's reasons for condemning China are already untenable, and it cannot point fingers at China on the issue of war.

Look at it from another angle, the alliance has already taken action. Will there be serious implications for EU-China relations?

Without thinking, China will defeat Japan. And even the complete elimination of Japan. It won't be long. China will become the leader of the Eastern world. Become a superpower on an equal footing with the United States. Europe cannot ignore China's influence and cannot exclude China from the international community. The EU wants to successfully complete political integration. To get rid of dependence on the United States, we must rely on China and use China to contain the United States.

Five-nation summit. Except that the attitude of the British is still relatively ambiguous. Even Spain, which has always been against the "troika", is much more honest. It is believed that the EU cannot take a foreign policy that is too extreme. The "Sino-Japanese War" should be treated rationally. Actively engage with China.

As the "troika" of promoting the political integration of the EU, Germany and Italy have a high degree of unanimity.

The meeting has just begun. Germany has expressed strong dissatisfaction with the US foreign policy.

The German "outrage" is quite understandable. As early as 20211, when Japan secretly developed nuclear weapons, Germany proposed that Japan should be sanctioned to prevent Japan from becoming a nuclear power. Opposed by the United Kingdom, Spain and other countries, the EU has failed to make a positive contribution to the Japanese nuclear issue. Germany then approached China into a "technology exchange agreement", only to be obstructed by Britain and the United States, and had to abandon the composite battery technology it had already acquired. What is most unacceptable to Germany is that the United States is secretly conducting technology transactions with China when it is obstructing Germany. Although in the end, under the interference of Japan, the United States failed to obtain the end of China's composite battery, but the United States' double-faced measures not only did not take into account the interests of Germany, but also took Germany first.

From 20211 to 2027, China's relations with Germany have been tepid.

Although China did not have a direct conflict with Germany, it suffered huge losses from its hostility with China. Not to mention, in the international arms market alone, China vigorously promoted all-electric submarines equipped with Class 6 and 8 composite batteries, and fought a price war with German submarines equipped with third-generation "ion membrane oxygen-fueled batteries", resulting in the loss of tens of billions of euros worth of orders in Germany, and several German fire companies such as HDW were on the verge of bankruptcy.

There are complaints in Germany, and there are complaints in Italy.

Relatively speaking, Italy is not in direct conflict with China. Constrained by the Treaty of Prague (an intra-EU treaty signed in Prague in 2 years to promote the integration of European diplomacy, requiring EU member states to adopt a unified foreign policy within the framework of the treaty), Italy's foreign policy towards China underwent a major change, which led to a sharp decline in Italy's relations with China, which had an incalculable impact on the Italian economy.

Among other things, Italy has lost tens of billions of euros in tourism alone. In 2020, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Italy exceeded 15 million, creating a record of 5

jobs and tens of billions of euros in tourism revenue. By 2026, the number of tourists going abroad will plummet to less than 5 million, resulting in hundreds of thousands of related employees losing their jobs and tourism income plummeting to less than 1 yuan.

The civil conflict caused by foreign policy is a headache for the Italian government.

In 2026 alone, there will be more than 150,000 legal proceedings related to Chinese Italians, the vast majority of which are related to Chinese work treatment, personal freedom, and racial discrimination.

It can be seen that Italy has suffered not only economic losses, but also social unrest.

Although France has been actively leading the adoption of a hard-line policy toward China, the French government is also aware of its own suffering.

On the economic front, France is certainly the first in the EU in terms of losses. In 20177, the business of the three major French automobile companies (Citroen, Renault, and Logo) in China was acquired by Chinese automobile companies, officially ending the production and sales of automobiles in China. For this alone, France lost tens of billions of euros. As China fully enters the international arms market, France, the world's third-largest arms exporter, has dealt a fatal blow to its arms business. Taking the Rafale M3 fighter as an example, Dassault initially expected to be able to export1, but as a result, under the joint encirclement of China's J-1 fighter (and later J-15 series fighters) and the United States' F-35 series fighters, the export sales were less than 1C0, resulting in a loss of hundreds of billions of euros for France. In terms of submarines, under the blow of all-electric submarines, the sales of 2AIP conventional submarines developed by France are even inferior to those of German submarines, and they have only sold less than 20 ~ in the international market in 1 year.

On the political front, France took the lead in the confrontation with China, which seriously affected France's international status. After returning to the NATO bloc, France shifted from a left-leaning line to a right-leaning line, and stood on the opposite side of China during the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, the East China Sea War, the "Southeast Asian War", and the Peninsular War, actively "cooperating" with the United States to suppress China. In particular, during the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, France secretly promised India that it would give full support to India as long as India went to war with China. France has not benefited much from the right-leaning line, and has instead become China's main target on the international stage. For example, after the "Southeast Asian War", France has not returned the frozen assets of the Vietnamese government to the new Vietnamese government, which has led China to criticize France in various international forums.

What has a big impact on France is China's influence on EU member states.

In the words of the former French president, France and other European powers are dismantling China's backstage, and China is also dismantling the EU's backstage.

France, Italy, Britain, Spain and other countries have been talking about China's human rights and foreign wars, while China has made a fuss about the EU's political integration.

Among other things, China only needs to adopt "equal diplomatic and trade means" and give active diplomatic and trade assistance to some underdeveloped EU member states, which can have a serious impact on the EU's political integration process. For example, after refusing to provide high-performance composite batteries to Germany, China invested in the construction of Europe's largest electric vehicle production base in Romania, making Romania the third largest car producer in the EU overnight; In the fight against Italy's tourism industry, China and Greece jointly held the "East-West Cultural Exchange Year" to actively encourage domestic people to go to Greece to taste the glorious relics left by the "ancient Greek civilization". In dealing with the aggressive France, Chinese leaders visited Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and other European countries repeatedly, highly praising the moderate foreign policies of these countries.

In the words of many European politicians, the United States hijacks Europe with security, and China kidnaps Europe with economy!

With the Great Depression just over and Europe's economy just picking up, is the EU willing to confront China?

Not to mention Germany and Italy, which have always been hesitant, and even France believe that it is necessary to improve relations with China as soon as possible to avoid a negative impact on the EU's political integration. The Spanish prime minister even took the initiative to suggest that he should actively intervene with China and contribute to resolving the contradictions between China and Japan in a diplomatic way.

Only Britain is not in favor of abandoning a tough attitude, arguing that "necessary" sanctions should be imposed on China.

None of the EU's five major member states can agree on a unified mind, let alone get more than 30 countries to do so.

In the face of Britain's opposition, the heads of state of the five major EU member states only reached a wait-and-see decision, and did not reach an agreement on whether to exert pressure on China, impose sanctions, or actively mediate with China.

There is nothing surprising in the end result, a divided Europe can hardly play a major role in the international arena.

Europe, which has completed "economic integration," is gradually realizing "diplomatic integration," and is actively promoting "military integration" and "political integration," is still a very long way from a "united Europe." Until then, because the interests of various countries are not identical, Europe will not only find it difficult to play a role in major international issues, but will also have to continue to play the role of a "vassal of the United States."
