Europe could turn away from China after the assistance in the fight against the pandemic coronavirus due to the fact that China “is trying to benefit from the spread of the virus through propaganda”, writes Bloomberg.
China is going to “get” Europe in the geopolitical struggle, this Beijing began to help the EU masks and medicines, reports RT the opinion of the author of the publication.
Bloomberg believes that China ought to stop “diplomacy masks”, instead of Beijing, according to the author, began to spread “misinformation” showing “spoiled European democracies and the authoritarian power of China”.
Another example is the publication on the website of the Embassy of China in France about how the government has thrown residents of nursing homes to die. According to the author, in response, the diplomatic service, the EU has collected a report on the alleged “campaign of disinformation” from China and Russia.
China tried to exert pressure on the authors of the report, but “made it worse”, said Bloomberg.
Some countries, says the author, had previously wanted to join the Chinese New silk road project and to hold a joint summit, but faced with the fact that this partnership “brings profit to both parties”, stated in the publication. The newspaper reminds that Germany, after the Chinese company bought part of the German high-tech industries, have imposed restrictions on such transactions.
Also the author of the article drew attention to the situation with the 5G. The head of the White house Donald trump called on Europe to boycott Huawei, but the EU could not come to a unified position on this topic. Now Europe is likely to reconsider the position stated in the article.
“Somehow, Chinese officials managed to offend Europeans across the continent, and usually they don’t have to agree,” concludes Bloomberg.
In March, Germany have noted that Russia and China came to the aid of Italy before the EU. Later in the German media urged to thank Russia and China for assistance in dealing with the coronavirus.
