Chapter nine hundred and sixty tit for tat
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State Council and the Ministry of Commerce once again held a press conference on Vice President Yang's Nordic Europe. Before the press conference, Du was asked by a Western reporter at a press conference on the issue of the Republic's leaders visiting the four European countries at a press conference in Hong Kong that EU-China relations are as important as US-China relations. It is now a critical moment when China-US relations and China-EU relations are expected to make new breakthroughs. He hopes that public opinion can look at things objectively, be more pragmatic, and be more concerned about the future development of US-China relations and China-EU relations, creating a good environment and various matters for the next meeting between the two important leaders.
Mr. Du's speech had a great influence, which was equivalent to accusing some Western media of attempting to undermine his plan to visit the United States, and was obstructing new breakthroughs in Sino-US relations. This was already a very harsh wording in diplomacy.
Sure enough, after Mr. Du's theory, the United States and European governments responded positively. US Secretary of State Lirashi told the media that he was very much looking forward to Mr. Du's visit to the United States. At the same time, he said that the United States has made sufficient preparations and he firmly believes that Mr. Du's trip to Washington will be very successful, and that US-China relations will definitely reach a new level.
In the EU, France, Germany and other leaders also said that Nordic Europe is part of Europe. The visit of the Republic to Nordic leaders shows that the Republic attaches importance to EU-China relations. They used the word "inspiring" to describe the Republic's active diplomatic behavior. At the same time, they are also looking forward to their respective meetings with the Republic's leaders next year.
This diplomatic storm seems to have calmed down, but this joint press conference between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce of the Republic still attracted the attention of many media.
The main reason why everyone is concerned is not that General Yang held two press conferences before his visit to Europe, but that Zhang Qingyun, the mysterious deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce of the Republic, who was hyped by the media some time ago, will make his debut at the press conference.
According to the feedback from the News Center of the Press Conference, the media attending this time came from many countries around the world, more than Home Inns media, and the press conference venue was full of people. This scale exceeded the scale of the meeting last month's Du Chengli Record of the State Council.
Before the press conference, Zhou Qun and Zhang Qingyun chatted in the lounge. Zhang Qingyun said mockingly: "Yang Zhenghuo's theory is to play right and right, but I think the noise is a bit big. Faced with so many media bombardment, our Ministry of Commerce can't hide any cards!"
Zhou Qun was so old that he had a clean and clean life, and he was a little fat. When he saw that his expression was a calm and experienced person. After hearing what Zhang Qingyun said, he touched his forehead with his hand and said, "Minister Zhang, Yang is always in a heroic and generous manner, but you and I cannot compete with him. We should still be cautious in our words and actions at today's press conference. Of course, I will deal with diplomatic issues, but the highlight of our visit to Europe this time is economic and trade..." Zhou Qun shook his head constantly, obviously "he was still quite worried about today's press conference. As the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhou Qun hopes to have fewer variables, or he hopes to play less cards before Mr. Yang visited.
In his opinion, today's press conference was a bit unnecessary. Although Mr. Yang's match against Hu was unexpected, it could not be considered a diplomatic move. Doing this will only make things more complicated and the situation will be chaotic. The work difficulty and pressure of people below will naturally be much greater.
Zhang Qingyun remained silent. Zhou Qun was an experienced diplomat. In this regard, Zhang Qingyun fully respected his opinions. However, as a senior official who had held authority, Zhang Qingyun had a different understanding of General Yang's move.
Now foreign media deliberately hype the news that Mr. Yang’s visit to the four countries is that some foreign forces and groups believe that the Republic should keep a low profile this visit. After all, "During the meeting between China and the United States, the Republic sent heavyweight leaders to visit Nordic Europe. This cannot help but make people wonder whether the Republic has other intentions.
In this case, they thought they had a plan and hyped up the news of General Yang's visit to the four countries, and even took advantage of the gimmick of the youngest ministerial-level cadre in the Republic. The purpose was to disrupt the Republic's diplomatic strategy.
Mr. Yang is now asking for a second press conference to launch a ruthless counterattack against his opponents and let them know that the Republic's visit to the four Nordic countries this time is as open and important as the visit to the United States.
Mr. Du said that Sino-US relations are as important as China and Europe. The deep meaning of this statement is to imply that the media and politicians feel too good. During the visit of the Republic's General Secretary, other diplomatic actions in the Republic must be concealed and give way to the visit to the United States? It is really a big ridiculous thing.
Seeking fans..... Must reply asking fans.... Must reply asking fans.... Must reply at the same time. On the other hand, Mr. Du's words are also showing kindness to Europe." Although his meaning was not explicitly stated, European governments are slow to deal with the crisis of migrant economy and lack confidence. Some countries even try to rely on the United States to get a share of the pie. Mr. Du now places the United States and Europe on an equally important position. In fact, Europe is also a secret as long as it has confidence, don't let the Republic down.
Mr. Du’s speech was first, and now Mr. Yang asked for a second press conference to be held after. Such a cooperation intention was extremely obvious. Such diplomatic techniques seemed peaceful on the surface, but in fact they showed extremely toughness in their bones.
Isn't some European media now a satirizing that China's visit to Nordic countries was a money-giving trip? They all believe that the Republic's money-giving trip was to discord the relationship between the United States and its allies behind the scenes. The Republic has never dared to be high-profile about such disagreements.
Faced with such an attitude from certain Western forces, the Republic simply confronted each other. Who said that the Republic did not dare to act in a high-profile manner? Since they have sent members of the Standing Committee of the CRC Central Political Bureau on a visit, can they still be low-key? Besides, how to do the Republic's diplomacy, can they still use other people's hands to solve the problem?
Zhang Qingyun could see that both Mr. Du and Mr. Yang had a high agreement on their opinions, and they were also very unhappy. At the beginning of the hype in Western media, Mr. Du quickly counterattacked in Hong Kong, and Mr. Yang also arranged counterattack methods like today in the capital. With the help of Zhou Qun's words, these two leaders were really grand. Zhang Qingyun admired them very much. Not only did he admire their tough attitude, but more importantly, he admired their wisdom and tacit cooperation. This was the first time Zhang Qingyun had contacted the leaders of the Republic's General and Vice President's General. Undoubtedly, even if it was just a matter of handling, Zhang Ziyun gained a lot from it.
In addition, Zhang Qingyun also knew Zhou Qun’s thoughts. Zhou Qun’s mood was not high, but it was not that he did not understand the intention of the General Principle.
It is precisely because he saw the tough nature of the two generals clearly that he was worried.
From this point of view, Deputy Minister Zhou Qun is considered a conservative in diplomacy. Conservative diplomats are responsible for China-EU relations, which is in line with the Republic's current consistent attitude towards Continuing.
The real development of China-Europe relations was in the 1990s, and the best China-Europe relations was in the late last century and early this century. However, in recent years, China-Europe relations have fallen to a low point.
The main reason is that the rapid rise of China was beyond the world's expectations. Europe failed to put its own position and failed to change their inherent thinking about the republic in a timely manner. Of course, Europe did not place China-Europe relations in the most important position from beginning to end.
However, when they one day realized that the energy of China had far exceeded their expectations and that China could do something they could not do, they were immediately stimulated. In addition, the United States interfered with it, and the European sentiment of China gradually spread, which inevitably led to the decline of China-Europe relations in previous years.
In recent years, many knowledgeable people in Europe have begun to realize that Europe needs to reposition the republic, especially in the past two years, the global economic crisis has exploded. With the global economy in a bleak situation, the republic's economy has been maintaining a relatively high level.
Against this backdrop, Europeans need to establish good relations with China, so in the past two years, European countries have changed a lot, and China-Europe relations are also on the road of healthy development.
However, compared with the golden period of China-EU relations, it is obvious that China-EU relations are far from working. The most direct manifestation is that China-EU trade disputes are frequent. In addition, when Europe responds to global economic crisis and internationally sensitive issues such as global climate issues, they are still affected by the United States. This is a mountain currently standing in front of China-EU relations.
Therefore, it is appropriate for the Republic to adopt a relatively conservative strategy in dealing with China-EU relations. China-EU relations are now relatively stable, moving forward slowly, and taking steps forward is the correct approach. This cannot be said that Zhou Qun's consideration is reasonable.
However, from a general perspective, Mr. Yang’s visit to the four Nordic countries this time is not simply for China-Europe relations. In fact, the Nordic countries and other European countries have a big difference. The main body of the China-Europe relations we usually talk about does not include these countries.
The reason why General Yang visited the four Nordic countries this time was that the decision made by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the United States, China-EU relations, and the relations between the Republic and East Asia was that the world economy was low and the Chinese economy was under pressure.
Western countries require the republic to bear more international responsibilities, and for this reason they use all means. While ensuring their own economic stability, the republic is seeking a diplomatic path that can not only bear international responsibilities but not lead by Western countries. Therefore, the Central Committee should be playing a big game now.
