It's about China, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands opposes

Bloomberg reported on the 26th that the Dutch Prime Minister Lutter said in Brussels after attending the EU summit that he opposed the re -consideration of trade relations with China for China's Hong Kong and Xinjiang policies. He said that the European Union should solve these problems, but should not beolate those countries that do not meet European standards. Bloomberg believes that this remark helps Europe to re -evaluate relations with China.

In an interview, Lutt bluntly stated that cutting off the connection with China will not "help any Hong Kong or Uyghur people." He said: "This is one of the reasons I think the European Union should be more like a geopolitical power. While maintaining close contact with the United States, we must formulate our own policy of China." Lutter also said that he has always mentioned it with China And these issues.

It is reported that the Netherlands is one of the most closely linked EU countries with China's trade. EU data shows that the Netherlands is one of the largest importers in Chinese goods in 2021. China is the third largest trading partner of the country. The Dutch Government Central Planning Bureau recently warned that trade disputes with China will pay the Netherlands at a high price. The Dutch International Research Institute website issued an article earlier this year that the increasingly intensified US -China competition is shaping and restricting the relationship between European countries and China, and the Netherlands is no exception. Dutch relations encountered setbacks in early 2021, and the Dutch Parliament had a motion related to the fact that the facts and common sense were ignored.

The Chinese Ambassador to the Netherlands said in an interview with the Dutch National Television last year that the Dutch Parliament deliberately slandered to discredit China and crudely interfered in China's internal affairs. China strongly condemned and resolutely opposed it. Inquiry about "the Dutch government has not supported this motion, but the Dutch side also said that it will continue to discuss with China on the relevant issues", he said that we have an open attitude towards constructive dialogue. He emphasized that Sino -Dutch relations need to be maintained by all sectors of both parties.
