According to CCTV's report on October 12, affected by the energy crisis , France's energy prices and industrial production have been affected. Some enterprises' production lines have shifted to areas with low fuel prices, and France's re-industrialization strategy is under great threat. In response, in his speech, Le Maire, a senior member of the French Ministry of Finance, directly condemned the US economic power and harmed France's interests, and called on Western countries to establish a "more balanced" economic relationship. In addition, it is reported that French President Macron may visit China in November.

The United States is crazy about making money
Obviously, the United States is strong hegemony hegemony is unpopular, and many voices have begun to oppose the U.S. hegemony strategy. It pulled various countries to sanction Russia's energy, but it turned around and took the opportunity to make money. If a gas ship was sold to a "brother country", it would easily make about $100 million.
European countries seem to be beaten back to the "primitive society" at once, and some Italian families choose to chop wood to keep warm; France calls on the people to reduce the time for hot water to take showers, and try to close all electronic equipment that can be turned off; the UK also plans to open libraries with heating equipment free of charge to provide people with cold relief; Sweden measures are more stringent, with heating exceeding 19 degrees, and not only will they face a fine of tens of thousands of yuan, but they will also be sentenced to prison.

European complaints
European countries are suffering, American capitalists are making a crazily profitable price difference, and they can probably laugh when they fall asleep. In response, the International Energy Agency warned that Europe is facing an unprecedented energy crisis, while the United States is selling gas at a high price, which is too "crazy".
German senior management Robert Habeck implicitly mocked the US's high-priced gas was making a fortune in war, and Germany's economic losses this year were about 60 billion euros.
French President Macron also publicly complained that American friends should know that although you provided us with energy, we have to bear four times the price. Even for the sake of friends, we should not continue like this.
Perhaps, the United States has wanted to "cut leeks" from the beginning and has not thought of other countries as friends.
French President Macron
Macron may be visiting China
Therefore, European countries have turned their attention to East Asia. Recently, it has been reported that the French president may visit China, or that it is not necessary to put eggs in a basket. China, which has a vast land and a wealth of resources, is also the best choice for European countries.
However, the news has not been confirmed. Wang Wenbin, spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of my country, said in an interview with reporters that there is no information that can be provided regarding this issue.
Previously, in order to find energy, Macron was also running around to visit Algeria , the largest gas exporter in Africa. This country was colonized by France for more than 100 years, and the two countries signed the "Algiers Declaration on Rebuilding Partnership".
Russian gas Nord Stream was artificially damaged
French not many choices
Leave many choices for France. Although Spain also has natural gas , Macron said that it is not reasonable to build a natural gas pipeline in the Pyrenees Mountains on the border of the West-France. At present, France has not made full use of the natural gas pipelines in Spain's Navarre and the Basque Country.
Macron also pointed out that if energy prices are allowed to continue to rise, France's industrial industry will weaken and French companies' competitiveness will decline. It is considering working with European countries to "decouple" natural gas prices from electricity bills, appease the people by providing subsidies to gas companies, and provide electricity bills that the people "acceptable". But the new British Prime Minister Tras has tried this move. Her energy contingency plan limits the electricity and gas costs of British residents to less than £2,500, and plans to provide subsidies of about £1,200 per year to poor families.
Although it may survive this cold winter in the short term and comfort the people. But according to British Finance Minister Kwoten, in the long run, the tax cut plan is expected to cut the country's tax revenue by 45 billion pounds in the long run by 2026 or 2027.
And, rashly cutting taxes will only have a serious impact on the country's economy before the Federal Reserve raises interest rates.
