Has the Spring Court Collarse China to win the heart of Europe? – The world

All this appeared in their report from the southern Chinese Island of Hainan last week, which is a change in the agency, Michael Sheridan, a long-term Correspondent on Si Djinping « Red Car » in Headline Books, in analysis CEPA.ORG.

No trace of doubt or hostility was in a report on one of the largest fairs in the country – the Fifth Chinese International Consumer Product Fair Expo.

The word « import » does not appear in the events name. However, in addition to the Chinese national champions, the fair was also a case of foreign consumer goods intended for the domestic market.

So, Sinhua had the task of showing openness and cordialness that the People’s Republic feels towards their partners in the Sea of ​​Trade War.

The Congress Center in Haikou, the capital of Hainan, « he / she has been hidden from energy » as the masses passed through halls « illuminated by gleaming exhibitions of vehicles, cosmetics and home necessities from all over Europe, » reports in the report.

The fair attracted a record number of 1,767 companies and 4,209 consumer brands from 71 countries, officials announced.

Sinhua pointed out the French National Pavilion with legendary brands like L’Oreal, a series of Italian brands such as motorcycles Ducati, and more than 50 brands from the United Kingdom, which was the « country of honorary guest » in 2025. Years.

For American exhibitors, including long-term actors in the Chinese market like a multinational giant Estée Lauder, there was no place in the report.

Instead, readers could read the optimistic comments of British Chamber of Chamber in China and the statement of a Slovak sales manager who was delighted to « land into a tropical paradise. »

The Chinese offensive charm is in full swing, and is directed towards Europe. The real goal is to separate the United States of the other, using the benefits of the Donald Tramp Administration Administration. This will require a sophisticated and carefully designed response.

Initially, the Chinese may have overrated what they seemed like a winning card. They quickly reached to telephoning Europe as soon as the possibility that the latest carbon tramps hit everything.

Conversation between Prime Minister Lija Ćianga and the European Commission President Ursule von Der Laen, held 7. April, resulted in two different statements. In the Chinese version, did he stated that the US move « a typical act of unilateralism, protectionism and economic violence ».

« China and the EU are the advocates of economic globalization and trade liberalization, and solid defenders and supportors of the World Trade Organization (WTO), » said, adding God to « jointly preserve free and open trade and investment ».

The Chinese prime minister also called on January talks between Chinese President of Djinping and President of the European Community President, and called for a high-level dialogue, as soon as the summit in July by which 50 years of diplomatic relations are celebrated.

In Beijing, it was a pleasure, because they felt the opportunity to form a unique front. Still, Fon Der Lazen showed determination.

The European version of the announcement states that she told Prime Minister Leah that China and the EU have the responsibility to support the « powerful, reformed trade system – free, honest and based on equal conditions. »

She immediately moved into the essence of the problem between Beijing and Brussels, mentioning overweight capacities, an expression that was not part of the Dictionary of the Chinese Prime Minister.

The EU, as well as other trading groups, fears that Chinese exports, which is blocked in the American market, could overwhelm alternative markets, lead to dumping price and cause trading wars.

It has not yet happened, because President Tramp reacted so fast, but companies are now panic trying to change supply chains and markets.

Fon Der Laen said that China has a « critical role » in solving what she called « possible redirecting trade in the tariffs, especially in sectors already affected by global surpluses of production capacities ».

Two officials discussed the establishment of a mechanism for monitoring such changes in trade patterns and ensure that all changes are « appropriately addressed ». Little who in Brussels, however, cultivate illusions on the effectiveness of such bureaucratic conversations.

The reality that soon returned after Tramp suspended the most customs rates for all but China is that the EU is now facing serious challenges in trade with the People’s Republic.

That is why Fon Der Laen said it was urgently needed to find « structural solutions » to re-establish a balance in bilateral relations. Despite the pleasant, subtropical atmosphere of the fair in Hainan, she wanted better access to the Chinese market for European companies, products and services.

If the prime minister may not expect such avalanches of criticism, the EU president then crossed the role of China in support of Russian war against Ukraine. It was ironic « called » China to « intensify efforts to really contribute to the peace process » – efforts for which both parties are conscious not currently exist.

The Chinese state media did everything to take advantage of the moment of the period between Europe and the United States. One prominent academician told the Global Times, a sharply oriented leaf under People’s Daily, that now not only demands higher military expenses from Europe, but at the same time punishing customs, putting it in « passive and pressure under pressure ».

That academic, Vang Jivei from the University of Renmin in Beijing, said, « No matter how much Europe it tries to calm Washington, they are now becoming more aggressive in their requirements. »

EUROPE, however, has shown a certain determination, which will discourage those in Beijing who believe that the Donald Tramp administration served them good victory. It is now in the EU that wise diplomacy manages this complex and variable situation – for now, it does not go bad.
