China responded to Europe's plans to create a unified army
Recently we Reported about how the French President Emmanuel Macron came up with the idea of a unified army of the European Union to protect against the United States, Russia and China. After which German Chancellor Angela Merkel supported this idea and suggested create an EU Security Council. And if the reaction of the USA and the “strategists” from NATO was predictable, and did not carry any novelty, then the opinion of the Chinese “comrades” deserves special attention.
On this occasion, on behalf of the "Celestial Empire," with clear embarrassment, the head of the foreign ministry of this country, Hua Chuning, spoke. She stated that China had never threatened Europe with its army. Moreover, the possibility of such a thing never even hypothetically came from Beijing. At the same time, she clarified that European countries have every right to make decisions and make their own choices, including on the creation of a single army.
At the same time, the head of the press service of the US State Department, Heather Nauert, said that any actions by Washington’s allies should not militarily go against the line of the “party”, i.e. NATO unit (which is controlled by the United States). Understanding Washington’s reaction is not difficult. They do not want to weaken the Alliance for obvious reasons.
But it was still a restrained reaction of Washington. Prior to this, US President Donald Trump spoke, he was a metal of “thunder and lightning” and generally took Macron's offer as a personal insult. Then he demanded that Europe urgently need money for NATO. Well, we will be waiting with undisguised interest for his reaction to Merkel’s proposal.
