Merkel: China, which has not waged war in 32 years, is a gentle and powerful country

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, known as the "Iron Lady" in international politics, once said publicly: "China, as an ancient civilization with a long history of 5,000 years, has not waged war for 32 years. It is a gentle and powerful country."

In the face of great changes that have not been seen in a century, and in the context of western countries led by the United States vigorously advocating the "China threat theory", this "female captain" with rich political experience and experience in Germany, why did she say so?

The eu's "junior partners"

To understand Europe as a whole, we must first understand the origin and evolution of the European Union. After the Second World War, most European countries suffered a lot of war trauma whether they won or lost. Whether in politics or in the civil society, the call for European unification came to a climax.

Various community cooperation organizations began to take shape until 1965, when six countries, including Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, signed the Brussels Treaty and unanimously decided to merge the European Coal and Steel Community, European Atomic Energy Community and European Economic Community to form the European Community.

In 1993, the Maastricht Treaty entered into force and the three Major European communities were incorporated into the European Union, marking the formal establishment of the European Union. The establishment of the EU has played a very important role in promoting the political, military, economic and social development of European countries and, to a certain extent, maintained regional prosperity and international status.

At the same time, however, due to differences in history, political system, development model and other factors, there are also numerous differences in the process of cooperation among countries. Especially in terms of duty and power, there are many problems between big countries and big countries, between big countries and small countries, and between small countries and small countries.

Britain and the European Union

You can see that in brexit. So why is Britain determined to leave the EU? Personally, I think the most main is immigration, as the economy overall downward, the UK's unemployment rate is higher, and the member states of the European Union citizens can work in the eu member states, the life, in this situation, high benefit provided by the British, attracting a large number of eastern European countries the people come to the UK to find work.

It is estimated that between 300, 000 and 400, 000 people migrate to Britain every year, not a small number for a country of only 60 million people.

At the same time, with the wars in Syria, Libya and other countries, a large number of people were smuggled to Europe. To solve this problem, the European Parliament proposed to share the immigration according to the total GDP of the member states. As the second largest economy in the EU, Britain will surely face greater pressure on social employment and social governance problems.

Secondly, as a member of the European Union, we have to submit to the core of the European Union, so we lose some autonomy. For the "British gentleman" who advocates freedom, naturally, we cannot stand such restriction.

Moreover, most of the eu's main decisions are dictated by Germany and France, and Britain, as a member of the EU, pays nearly $10 billion a year in membership fees. There is no direct proportion between input and output, and the result is self-evident.

Merkel

Earlier, in the face of the epidemic, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said publicly that "Germany has to make a bigger contribution to the EU budget. In the coming weeks and months, it is crucial to show that we (EU countries) are united."

What Ms Merkel meant was that, as the epidemic spread and the EU became more isolated, Germany needed to spend some money to "unite" its junior partner.

Ms Mohmer has also said that Germany's eu presidency will focus on "improving the economies of eu countries" and uniting its eu partners. Ms Merkel is also well aware that eu solidarity has become more important than usual in the context of the spread of the epidemic and the huge impact on the international economy.

But if you have any memories of the epidemic in Italy, you may find Her words a little funny. Who sent the medical team and medical supplies, in their own difficult time, relentlessness to save the Italian people in distress. Can members of the EU, acting in their own interests, really stand together?

The Relationship between America and Germany in the context of "America First"

The relationship between Germany and the United States has always been very delicate. On the one hand, after the Second World War, as a defeated country, Germany dismantled and banned a large number of military facilities and military production enterprises. The number of American soldiers in Germany reached 100,000 at its peak.

At the same time, because the European countries is also with the help of the United States won the war, especially the establishment of the military organizations represented by "NATO", let the U.S. military presence in Europe have not only unique, but they have strong leadership, it can be said that the German is under the umbrella of the United States "grow up", the United States in Germany, should be worthy of "big brother".

However, in 2013, the "eavesdropping" incident between Germany and the US was revealed, which had a huge impact on the political mutual trust between the two countries' senior leaders over the years. At the same time, after taking office as the PRESIDENT of the United States, Chuan Jianguo vigorously pursued the "America first" in various fields, and began to default dues and withdraw from various groups. He used his ugly capitalist face to deal with international politics.

It has also widened differences between the United States and Germany over trade, currency, European policy, global governance and other areas. This, combined with America's insistence on withdrawing from the INF treaty, and the fact that All European countries, including Germany, are within range of Russia's S500 missiles, has further strained relations between Europe and Russia, which are already not harmonious.

The global economy

In 2020, a COVID-19 pandemic has brought global economic and social development to a near standstill, with many countries experiencing substantial negative economic growth, people losing their jobs, businesses going bankrupt and banks going bankrupt...

The United States is also the country with the highest number of infections and the highest number of deaths. Freud was "crushed to death" by the white police in Minneapolis on his knees, which caused a lot of riots in China. For the epidemic and various economic and social chaos, sichuan jianguo did not take effective measures to deal with it. Instead, it was full of "golden words", which was no problem for the world "web celebrity".

This series of irresponsible actions also caused the dissatisfaction of the world including Germany to the United States. As a senior politician, Mrs Mohr also gradually lost confidence in the United States. The G7 summit between Angela Merkel and Donald Trump was a good example of this.

Gentle and powerful "Friend of the East"

It is also in such a severe and complex international situation, Merkel, as the "captain" of the old European cruise ship Germany, had to modify the established route to find new partners. At the same time, with the deepening of reform and opening up, China's economic and social development level continues to rise, and great progress has been made in science and technology, education, national defense, culture and other fields.

Most importantly, China has always advocated the principle of peaceful co-existence with the outside world. Since the bandung Conference in 1955, our beloved Premier Zhou Enlai stated the diplomatic position of the People's Republic of China to the world. Over the past 70 years, We have adhered to the path of peaceful development and always practiced an independent foreign policy of peace. Napoleon once said that China is a sleeping lion, and when the sleeping lion wakes up, the world will tremble.

The Lion of China has woken up, but it is a peaceful, amiable, civilized lion. With the continuous improvement of China's overall strength, China has also been actively fulfilling its role as a major country. Not only has China made no regrets or selfless contributions to a series of tasks assigned by the United Nations, but it has also been the first to lend a helping hand to many countries when they are in trouble.

For example, during the epidemic this year, we sent medical teams and supplies to many countries, including developed countries. We also integrated domestic resources and made great efforts to produce epidemic prevention materials. We have not only made outstanding contributions to the global epidemic prevention, but also gained increasing popularity and influence in the world. All this, too, is perfectly in line with German diplomatic standards.

Trump

When it comes to China's peaceful rise, America, the self-styled "world's policeman", wants to enlist a bunch of its "little brothers" to contain It, though many countries, such as Australia, have either succumbed to pressure or succumbed to the temptation of America's "pie" to join in maligning and discrediting China. But Germany, as Europe's leader, clearly has its own judgment.

Not long ago, German Economy Minister Altmaier made it clear in a public interview that "democracy is not the only guide to trade" and "we are not the moral teacher of the world". In the eyes of American politicians, Ms Merkel is steering a German cruise ship eastwards after the estrangement between Germany and America.

There is no such thing as love or hatred without any reason or cause. According to statistics, since Angela Merkel became The German president in 2005, Germany's export to China has increased fivefold, and the total trade volume between the two countries has reached more than 200 billion euros. China has also replaced the United States and become Germany's largest trading partner for the fourth consecutive year.

Conclusion

Perhaps in the minds of American politicians, America remains the America that saved the world during The second world war, the centre of the world, against whose will no country can or will be allowed. It is this willful conceit that has repeatedly frustrated the United States in international affairs and made the epidemic in the United States the worst in the world.

There was a long honeymoon period between Germany and the United States, but in the face of one fact after another, Germany thoroughly saw the true face of the United States. Also determined to develop independently. Chancellor Merkel's description of a "soft and strong country" is accurate and aptly representative not only of Germany, but also of many western countries that were once less friendly to China.

The world has not changed in a century. Let's wait and see.
