Did Macron make strong statements as soon as he returned to Europe? In fact, many people did not understand; this is Europe's plea. Macron stated in an interview with "Le Figaro" that "if China does not take measures to reduce the trade deficit, the EU will have to impose tariffs." Do you know why Macron said this? In fact, recent French programs have explained everything, discussing China's current strength and threat, but when asked what to do, there are no solutions! Yes, there are no solutions at all! Why does Macron say China should take measures? Because they themselves cannot impose tariffs; it's just a band-aid solution. Even the United States cannot do it, so do you think Europe can handle it? Tariffs are an outdated method for us; they have limited effects, and we are used to coping. If the EU insists on learning from this, in the end, it may not harm others but rather hurt itself. Of course, if the other party takes action, we will also respond. So the key is not to listen to what the other party says, but to see what they actually do. The key issue is that Europe has already fallen behind in many critical industries for the future, such as AI, humanoid robots, new energy vehicles, solar panels, and even innovative drugs. You can impose tariffs as much as you want, but these industries will not magically appear. The key is that Europe has been daydreaming all these years; you should offer us more affordable and high-quality foreign goods to choose from. Or provide technology-rich products that people are willing to pay a premium for. We have so many foreign exchange reserves with nowhere to spend them; buying U.S. treasury bonds isn't very appealing either. So what is Europe thinking? Asking us to take the initiative to produce capacity? What, are you supporting us? As for Macron making such statements as soon as he returns to his country, it's not surprising! Macron has always been like this. The last time he visited China, he returned with a smile and the first thing he did was investigate anti-dumping on Chinese steel and impose tariffs. Other than the Minsk agreement being played by Zelensky (of course, it cannot be ruled out that he was playing a double act), most of the time it is Macron's repeated flips, like a Sichuan opera face-changer; the nickname 'Chameleon' is not just a name. If we have to say something, fortunately, he signed a lot of agreements, but only one agricultural cooperation is substantive, the rest are all superficial. Of course, it may also be because he did not achieve his core demands (didn't get the meal), so he feels dissatisfied. By the way, before coming here, some official media said that China and France are both victors of World War II and introduced Macron to the recent extreme remarks from Japan regarding the Bay. As a result, neither the Bay nor Japan was included in the joint statement, and you can see that the talks didn't go well. In fact, Macron's visit to China was his personal state; but once he returns to Europe, his tough statements do not actually represent him personally but reflect the political stance of his party and even the overall political stance of Europe—he is like a "trumpet" conveying the voices of others. Therefore, regarding the harsh words he spoke upon returning to Europe, there's no need to take them too seriously; a "trumpet" itself cannot create anything truly astonishing. Now, what is the key issue? Don't think that Macron's statements are tough talk; essentially, it has become a plea, saying, "Big brother, please give me a way out!" Now, Europe's tough talk is completely different from what it was years ago. Two hundred years ago, they really came over by ship; twenty years ago, they would directly impose sanctions. What about now? It is not intimidation or threats but rather a plea! Look at Macron's speech at Sichuan University; the core message is very clear: I acknowledge you as the big brother, but the big brother must help me, invest in me, and transfer technology to me. For China to become a global pole, it must create its own world order, plan the global industrial division of labor, and reshape the world market. It cannot just sell, sell, sell; otherwise, everyone will collapse in the end, and everyone will be in a desperate situation. Now, several major countries in Europe are numb to the Russia-Ukraine issue; this time, Macron didn't particularly raise it, and everyone now recognizes China's strength. The core issue is how China can lead everyone in playing together.
