(Washington = Yonhap News) Correspondent Cho Jun-hyung = Regarding Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Europe, which began on the 5th (local time), the American media said it was an attempt to restore China-Europe relations damaged during an invasion Russia from Ukraine and to divide the United States and Europe It was interpreted as an act.
As China strengthened cooperation and trade with Russia after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (February 2022), which posed a major threat to European security, European countries increased their vigilance against China, and strengthened the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on it relations with the United States.
President Xi’s visit to France, Serbia, and Hungary is said to be aimed at overcoming the situation that has been hindering China’s diplomatic strategy.
In an article on the 5th, the New York Times analyzed that President Xi’s trip to Europe “appears to be an attempt to seize the opportunity to loosen Europe’s relations with the United States.”
NYT continued, “The three countries that President Xi is looking for are countries that have doubts about the establishment of a post-war world order by the United States, and that see China as an essential counterweight and seek to strengthen ties economic with China.” During this visit, President Xi said, “Europe “We are trying to show China’s growing influence on Korea and pursue a pragmatic reconciliation,” he said.
NYT added, “The United States will see President Xi’s visit to Europe as an effort by President Xi to drive a wedge between Western allies (the United States and Europe).”
In particular, the NYT analyzed that the presence of President Xi in Belgrade on the 7th, 25 years since the NATO bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade (the US position that it was a mistake), has high political implications.
On May 7, 1999, when the Kosovo conflict was at its peak, US-led NATO forces bombed the Chinese Embassy (then the Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia), killing 17 people, including three Chinese reporters. At that time, violent protests took place around the US Embassy in China.
Janka Oertel, head of Asia at the European Council on Foreign Relations, told the NYT, “President Xi’s presence in Belgrade on the 7th is a very prudent way to ask if the United States is serious about international law.”
The Associated Press wrote, “The United States will be watching President Xi’s visit closely because of signs of waning European support for key US foreign policy goals and growing uncertainty about future US support for NATO.”
The news agency also pointed out that President Emmanuel Macron, who welcomes President Xi this time, wants to make France more economically and strategically independent in its relations with other world powers.
In addition, he pointed out that Serbia and Hungary have something in common: being friendly towards China, receiving significant investment from China, and being close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Foreign Policy (FP), a foreign policy magazine, reported an analysis by Sun Yun, a Chinese representative at the Stimson Center, a US think tank, who said, “President Xi wants to control the blow that China’s stance on war Ukraine has had. had on China-Europe relations.”
In addition, Liana Fix, European politics expert at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), diagnosed to FP, “The aim of President Xi’s visit to Europe is to deal a blow to the united front that the United States and Europe were try it. to build on Russia’s war against Ukraine.”
