European Council President Michel
It is reported that the decision of European Council President Michel to visit China on the 1st of this month has attracted attention from many parties. He is the second senior official of the EU EU to visit China after last month's Scholz visit. At the talks with China, the official sent a very sincere signal, saying that Europe is willing to become China's reliable trading partner and strengthen communication with China on various aspects such as climate change and health challenges. The two sides actively handle various differences. Michel also promised that they will always abide by the "one China policy" and will never interfere in China's internal affairs, and that the EU "will adhere to the independent and independent route" in the future.

reported that Michelle brought greater shock to Europe is that he can be said to be the first European "hard-core pro-Western politician" to visit China. During his past term, he was extremely biased to the United States and could not be called friendly to China. Officials previously disclosed that Michel also planned to condemn Russia's military operations in Ukraine in his speech while calling on Europe to "get rid of its dependence on China." Unfortunately, the subsequent speech was unsuccessful. In short, he changed his life and became a "peace envoy" of China and Europe, which surprised many people, and was also seen as a sign of a change in the attitude of the top EU leaders towards the United States.
Michel rarely complained to the United States in an interview
3. After the visit to China, Michelle accepted an interview with European media, but her evaluation of the United States plummeted. The pro-US official first said that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict made Europe and the United States "union" and that the security relations between them were strengthened because both Western countries supported Ukraine in this conflict. But Michelle changed his tone and said that the impact of the conflict on the United States and on Europe is huge, and the losses suffered by both sides are also very different. Because the United States is an energy exporter, it can benefit from the soaring prices of natural gas and oil, while the EU has to pay a heavy price for these energy sources on the contrary;

When talking about the controversial topic of the Inflation Reduction Act, Michel began to accuse the United States of " Washington always prioritizes its own interests, and Europe should not continue to be naive!" Some analysts believe that Michelle saw the crisis of European and American relations in this conflict, and the United States abandoned their choices at an emergency, and has undergone cognitive changes in its past choices, including this visit to China, which is more like his attitude reversal. But some people think that this European politician is just acting on the scene, making an attitude of a "responsible" official towards the whole of Europe and trying to win benefits for them; in fact, the concept of pro-American in his bones has never changed, and this is the truth.
Michel refused to use fierce words to describe the United States
Also worth mentioning is that in this interview, Michel refused to use fierce words to accuse the United States. He said that he would not use betrayal to describe the United States. Compared with these, he hoped that Washington would take another action to bridge the relationship between the two sides, and Europe would not stop continuing to contact the United States. In comparison, Germany's attitude is much "bad". German Vice Premier Habek even threatened last week that "a trade conflict with the United States cannot be ruled out." There is a comment on this: "Whether the speech of the President of the European Council is a hypocritical act or a radical change has occurred, he has at least had a different view of the United States; but if Europeans currently hope to force the United States to retreat with only this intimidating attitude, they would think too simply. The United States will never stop until it sees the actual losses."
