The EU Spring Summit is scheduled to be held in Brussels from 21st to 22nd local time. This is also the first official summit of the EU this year.

　　According to the schedule announced by the European Union, the top topic of the summit is still to discuss how to continue to support Ukraine.

　　△ EU official website screenshot

　　However, considering the recent differences and contradictions within the EU, especially between key member countries such as France and Germany, there are still many unknowns about whether the 27 EU countries can achieve unity on the issue of "settling Ukraine".

　　△ European Policy Center official website screenshot

　　Is the "European Peace Fund" intended to ignite the fire?

　　Before the EU summit, the US-led "Ukrainian Defense Liaison Group" just held its 20th monthly meeting on 19th.

　　At the meeting, US Defense Secretary Austin promised that "the United States will not let Ukraine fail" and tried to convince allies that Ukraine has not "lost the United States". But at this moment, Biden’s government basically has no money to continue to aid Ukraine.

　　Austin did not explain how Washington will continue to support Kiev without additional funds.

　　Then, Sullivan, Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security Affairs, made a surprise visit to Ukraine on the 20th, and reassured Ukraine at a news conference held in Kiev that the United States would continue to provide necessary support, including weapons and equipment.

　　△ Screenshot of the US Political News website report (the picture on the left is Sullivan)

　　No matter how determined you are, the United States, which can only write empty promises by mouth, has changed from a "leading arch" to a "pure arch".

　　In contrast, Europe is quite concerned about supporting Ukraine.

　　The EU foreign ministers’ meeting held on 18th to prepare for the EU Spring Summit formally reached an agreement, agreeing to set up a Ukrainian Aid Fund (UAF) within the existing European Peace Fund (EPF) and allocate 5 billion euros for military aid to Ukraine this year.

　　This is the EU’s supplementary assistance to Ukraine as a whole, in addition to the bilateral military assistance provided to Ukraine by member States.

　　△ EU official website screenshot

　　But for this matter, EU countries have been arguing for months.

　　Let’s start with the European Peace Fund (EPF).

　　Since the EU treaty prohibits the use of regular budget to finance military-related operations, the Council of the European Union approved the establishment of EPF in March 2021, which is dedicated to preventing and controlling conflicts and promoting peace. The fund is not included in the EU budget, and is shared by EU member states in proportion to their respective economies.

　　According to the original plan, the total budget of the fund in 2021-2027 is 5 billion euros. However, since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out in February 2022, this money was not enough at once.

　　△ Screenshot of the "European Peace Fund" page in official website, EU

　　For this reason, in July last year, borrell, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, proposed for the first time to set up a "Ukrainian Aid Fund" (UAF) with a total amount of 20 billion euros within the framework of EPF, and planned to help Ukraine with 5 billion euros every year in the next four years.

　　△ Reuters report screenshot

　　UAF is a huge cash return program, which is used to partially reimburse the cost of weapons provided by member States to Ukraine. However, the plan was once opposed by many member States such as Germany and France.

　　As the main promoter of European defense industry, France insists that UAF is only used to buy weapons made in Europe.

　　As the second largest aid to Ukraine after the United States, Germany insists that its bilateral aid funds to Ukraine be included in Germany’s contribution to UAF.

　　Hungary has always opposed the delivery of weapons to Ukraine and refused to approve the provision of military assistance to Ukraine through the European Peace Fund.

　　△ Screenshot of the US Political News website report

　　After months of quarreling, the parties finally reached a compromise.

　　In order to appease France, the newly established UAF will give priority to the purchase of weapons made in Europe, and can only be used to purchase weapons from third countries when the production capacity in Europe is exhausted.

　　In order to appease Germany, the final agreement stipulates that the value of bilateral assistance to Ukraine will be taken into account when calculating the financial contribution of member States to UAF.

　　△ "Deutsche Welle" website report screenshot

　　Hungary, on the other hand, agreed to take a "constructive abstention", just as it did when voting on the four-year financial aid plan of 50 billion euros for Ukraine at the special EU summit in early February, and Hungary did not participate in the final vote.

　　In this way, the final agreement will not be blocked and UAF will be established.

　　△ Screenshot of the US Political News website report

　　"If Berlin and Paris really want to support Ukraine … …”

　　After the agreement on the establishment of UAF was reached, the EU executives cheered.

　　In the words of borrell, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, the agreement "sends a clear message: we will make every effort to support Ukraine to win".

　　Belgian Foreign Minister Hajja Labib, who held the rotating presidency of the European Union in the first half of the year, also said that with this agreement, "we will provide Ukraine with enough weapons and equipment in a coordinated manner".

　　△ Reuters report screenshot

　　However, cakes are not painted.

　　On the one hand, from 5 billion euros in the past seven years to 5 billion euros a year now, the total financing of the "European Peace Fund" is getting bigger and bigger, and it is hard to say whether it can catch up with the "reimbursement requests" accumulated by member States.

　　On the other hand, whether this special fund has the ability to "provide Ukraine with a sufficient number of weapons and equipment" also needs to be questioned.

　　Last March, the European Union used the European Peace Fund, boasting that it would provide 1 million artillery shells to the Ukrainian army within one year. But by the end of the day, the EU had not even delivered half of the promised shells.

　　Some analysts pointed out that the so-called "European Peace Fund" has obviously deviated from the meaning of "peace". Moreover, this extra expenditure outside the EU budget will have a negative impact on the already weak EU economy, further aggravating the plight of people’s livelihood in Europe.

　　Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the EU and its member States have provided or promised to provide Ukraine with more than 138 billion euros of various kinds of assistance. Moreover, the EU has repeatedly stressed that it will continue to provide political, financial, economic, humanitarian, military and diplomatic support to Ukraine as long as necessary.

　　△ EU official website screenshot

　　However, the EU economy is getting worse and worse in this geopolitical crisis deliberately provoked by the United States and the West.

　　According to the statistical monitoring report released by Eurostat on the 19th local time, although inflation has eased and the unemployment rate has declined, the industrial production in the EU continues to shrink, indicating that the EU economy is still in a weak state.

　　△ Eurostat official website screenshot

　　Germany, the EU’s largest economy with the greatest aid to Ukraine, is precisely the worst among the major EU countries.

　　Although German Defense Minister pistorius recently announced at the meeting of the "Ukrainian Defense Liaison Group" that he would provide Ukraine with a new sum of aid worth 500 million euros, the outside world is not sure about the stamina of Germany’s aid to Ukraine.

　　As for the recent "directional contradiction" between Germany and France on the issue of aiding Ukraine, it has made other EU countries nervous.

　　French President Macron, who is keen to talk about "European autonomy", has always been dismissive of Germany’s practice of only following the lead of the United States and NATO, and believes that Germany is "too timid" in supplying arms to Ukraine, especially the Taurus cruise missile; Germany, on the other hand, is deeply angry at Macron’s "self-styled" European leader.

　　△ Screenshot of the US Political News website report

　　Recently, while Macron frequently released the rhetoric of "sending troops", it also made a high-profile announcement to set up a "missile alliance" to help Ukraine acquire long-range strike weapons. This is considered by the outside world as putting pressure on Germany on the issue of the Taurus missile.

　　German Chancellor Angela Scholz thought that Macron’s move was nothing more than grandstanding, and satirized that the actual assistance provided by France to Ukraine was less than a fraction of the scale of German aid to Ukraine.

　　△ Screenshot of the US Political News website report

　　In this regard, former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said in an interview with DPA a few days ago that Germany and France, as leaders of the European Union, should make joint efforts to promote the peaceful settlement of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

　　He believes that both Germany and France have a long history of contacts with Russia and can and should play a role in resolving the Ukrainian crisis.

　　"If Berlin and Paris really want to support Ukraine, then it is appropriate to try to find a solution to this conflict together."

The valve cover of the classic Focus is a part of the engine, which is located in the engine compartment and used to store the engine lubricating oil. The valve cover is usually made of metal and has one or more holes for releasing lubricating oil. These holes are usually connected to the valve chamber of the engine through a sealing ring called "valve cover gasket".

The main functions of the valve cover include:

1. Store and distribute engine lubricating oil.

2. Accommodate the valve chamber pad to prevent lubricating oil from leaking to the combustion chamber.

3. Protect the internal parts of the engine from high temperature and high pressure.

4. Provide the outlet of engine lubricating oil for inspection and replacement when necessary.

If you need to check or replace the valve cover of the classic Focus, it is recommended that you contact a professional automobile maintenance technician to ensure that your engine is properly maintained and protected.

Some netizens bought one recently.Toyota Flanders 2023 2.0L Smart Hybrid Twin Engine Leading EditionThe bare car price is 125,800 yuan.It’s 2023. Is Toyota’s car worth buying?? Let’s take a look at the car experience of real car owners.

The most satisfying highlight-fuel economy and practicality I bought this car mainly for commuting and family transportation, and one of the reasons for my final choice is its excellent fuel consumption. In the morning and evening rush hours when the city is congested, its comprehensive fuel consumption is only less than five liters, and it is kept at about 4.5 liters when driving at high speed, and only 92 # gasoline is used. Compared with other models, it saves worry and money, which makes me feel particularly satisfied. The global popularity and reputation of Toyota brand, as well as excellent after-sales service, make me feel at ease about the choice of this car purchase.
The most dissatisfied place-the back row space However, for my height of about 1.7 meters, sitting in the back row space is not very plentiful. However, I found that the rear seats can be adjusted, which improved the ride comfort to some extent and made up for some shortcomings.
Space design-wide front and comfortable back In terms of space, Feng Landa has ample driving space in the front row, while the space in the back row is limited, but for an adult who is 1.7 meters tall, there is still room for a punch in the leg. There is enough space in the trunk, and after the second row of seats fell, the storage space was increased, which greatly facilitated the luggage and emergency needs.
Driving experience-Steady and safe Fenglanda continues the driving experience of Toyota hybrid models, with a rapid and smooth start and sufficient power during normal driving. The steering wheel is light and accurate, and the overall driving experience is very comfortable. The improvement of safety configuration further enhances the driver’s confidence and sense of security.
Design-mature and dynamic. The design of Feng Landa is mature and dynamic. The large-mouth air intake grille and black design inject a sense of movement and strength into the front face, and the sideways design of double waistlines, black wheel eyebrows and side skirts add to the dynamics of the whole car. Taillight design is unique, and the visual effect after lighting is very eye-catching.
Interior Design-Simple and Practical The interior design of Flanders is simple and practical, without too many complicated elements. The space layout is reasonable and the air conditioning effect is outstanding, which conforms to the practical design concept of modern cars.
Cost-effective-durable and worry-free. Overall, the cost-effective ratio of Fenglanda is good. Compared with the same class, it is more worry-free and durable, with lower fuel consumption. Its rich configuration and high safety performance make it stand out from the competition.
Configuration Highlights-Intelligent Technology It is worth mentioning that Fenglanda’s touch-sensitive LCD screen is very convenient and compatible, and the practical skylight design further enhances the convenience and comfort of driving.

In this Toyota Fenglanda car experience, the excellent performance of fuel consumption, reasonable space design, steady driving experience and mature and dynamic design have left a deep impression on this model. Whether it’s urban transportation or long-distance travel, Fenglanda has shown excellent comprehensive strength and is a model worthy of recommendation.

As an evergreen tree in the compact sedan market, Volkswagen’s monthly sales have remained at the level of 30,000-40,000 for a long time, and it is not surprising that it exceeds 50,000 or even 60,000 in the peak season. However, the price war at the beginning of this year also affected its sales volume. In the first half of this year, the monthly sales volume remained at around 20,000, showing a significant decline. In order to enhance its competitiveness, SAIC Volkswagen launched the LaVida 1.5T model in early August, with five models priced at 138,900-151,900 yuan. The new car is equipped with a brand-new 1.5T engine, which uses new technology to achieve stronger power and lower fuel consumption. Today, we take the LaVida 300TSI DSG Star Forever Edition as an example to see what changes have taken place in the new car and how to choose it.

New car features:

1. The front face is available in two styles. The starry sky version is equipped with a lattice grille and a sports kit, which is more youthful.

2. Equipped with a 10.25-inch instrument and a 12-inch central control screen to support the interconnection between Apple and Baidu.

3. Class L2 driver assistance system is standard, and the rear row and trunk space are sufficient.

4. The new 1.5T engine has higher power and lower fuel consumption, matching the 7-speed dry powershift.

This generation of LaVida is based on the Volkswagen MQB modular platform. The shape of the newly added 1.5T model has not changed much, and it is still dignified, but it has added fashionable decorative elements. In terms of color, the 1.5T model offers four color schemes: prologue, Tianzhen Blue, Culture Silver and Mystery Black.

The front face provides two sets of exterior decoration, and the starry sky version adopts lattice grille, which is very fashionable and more in line with the aesthetics of young people than the ordinary version of multi-spoke grille. Headlights and grille are integrated, and the bottom daytime running lights are connected with the middle net through the decorative strips, which makes the front of the car look wider. Split low beam comes standard with LED light source, which lights automatically, but it does not support adaptive switching between far and near beams.

The side shape is a classic sedan structure, with a slightly shorter front suspension and a longer rear suspension. The proportion of the sedan is clear and elegant. The double waistline just passes through the door handle from top to bottom. The upper line connects the front and rear light groups, and the lower line is parallel to it, which makes the car body very smooth. This car is equipped with a sports kit, and blackened elements are added to the exterior rearview mirror, roof, trunk and other parts, which is a common technique for young decoration at present.

The body size, length, width and height are 4678/1806/1474mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2688 mm. Compared with competing products at the same level, the wheelbase is still the traditional compact size, but the length and height of the car body have certain advantages.

The all-black exterior rearview mirror integrates slender LED side lights, but there is no side camera, and the whole system comes standard with reversing images. Electric adjustment, folding, heating, automatic reversing and automatic folding of locking car are also standard.

The door handle with the same color on the body is decorated with a large area of chrome plating, and the keyless entry function in the front row is standard.

16-inch and 17-inch rims are available, and this car is the latter. The peculiar two-color five-spoke rim has a small central gap, which can reduce the wind resistance. Tyre size is 225/45 R17, with moderate tire width, which matches the series of Maxis Premitra 5 products that give consideration to comfort and handling.

Although the tail does not use the popular through-lamp strip, it is rich in horizontal elements and has a clear sense of hierarchy. Black trim is added to the tail box cover to play the role of spoiler. Independent taillights are more traditional, and the concave license plate frame has a connection effect. The bottom of the bumper is made of black bottom skirt with diffusion shape, and the "C"-shaped chrome-plated strips on both sides create the effect of exhaust pipe, which is also clever.

The layout of the carriage is calm, but the thick silver decorative board is added to enhance the exquisiteness, and the red element is added to the air outlet to enhance the activity. The center console is made of soft plastic, and the touch is not bad. Provide a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument and a 12-inch floating large screen, and the digital interactive experience has reached the mainstream level. The whole system comes standard with monochromatic atmosphere lights, and it is no longer monotonous at night.

Standard leather material, feel full and comfortable, the size is also very suitable, and the micro-flat shape is easy to control the corner. There are many keys in the transverse radiation, so it is difficult to realize blind operation. The left side is used to control the driver assistance system, and the new car comes standard with L2 system, including full-speed adaptive cruise, lane keeping and other functions.

The middle and high models are equipped with a 10.25-inch full LCD instrument, and the oil quantity and water temperature meters on both sides are backlit, and the screen can switch multiple display modes.

The mid-high model is equipped with a 12-inch floating central control panel. The car comes with 4G network connection, WiFi hotspot and OAT upgrade. The voice assistant can control multimedia, navigation, telephone and air conditioning, and support the remote control of mobile APP and the interconnection of Apple CarPlay and Baidu CarLife. The interaction is convenient.

The shape of the bar stand is very traditional, and the in-line mechanical bar is centered, which has an influence on the storage compartment of the front mobile phone. There are many physical buttons around, including one-button start, electronic handbrake, automatic parking, automatic start and stop, economic mode, parking radar, and 12V power interface. The air conditioning touch panel is reserved in front, but the position is low. There are Type-C and USB interfaces in the storage compartment of the mobile phone. There are double cup holders and storage slots at the back.

It is divided into leather/fabric and imitation leather, and the middle and high-end models are the latter. The filler is moderate in hardness, the cushion and backrest have good lateral support, and the contact part with the body has rich lines to enhance friction. In terms of function, the main driver’s seat supports electric adjustment of front and rear, backrest, height (2-way) and waist (2-way), the co-pilot supports manual adjustment of front and rear, backrest, and the front seat has heating function.

The back row is the same as the front row, the cushion length is average, and the backrest has good lateral support. In terms of space, Kan Di is 175cm tall, with more than two punches in the leg space and just one punch on the top of his head, which is basically enough for three people to ride horizontally. Provide folding handrails with double cup holders, platform air outlet and USB interface, and the roof is an ordinary skylight.

The conventional volume of the rear compartment is 510L, and the depth, width and height are good, and the opening is relatively large. The rear seats support a 4:6 ratio, and the flatness is high. There are non-full-size spare tires and maintenance tools under the floor.

In terms of power, the brand-new 1.5T in-line 4-cylinder turbocharged engine is a new member of EA211 series. It uses advanced technologies such as VTG variable cross-section turbocharging, MAP dual-channel thermal management system, 350bar high-pressure fuel injection system, continuous variable flow oil pump, APS plasma cylinder coating, etc. The compression ratio is increased to 11.5, and the Miller cycle can be realized by adding a central VVT regulating valve. Compared with the 1.4T engine, the maximum power of 1.5T increased by 7.3%, from 110kW to 118kW, the thermal efficiency increased by 8.6%, and the fuel consumption of WLTC was 5.4L/100km. The rotation speed range of the maximum torque is increased from 1750-3000rpm to 1750-4000rpm, so that the durability of high-speed torque is better and the confidence of running at high speed is more sufficient. Matching the engine is still a 7-speed DSG dry powershift.

The chassis is still a suspension combination of front McPherson independent and rear torsion beam non-independent, both of which are in layout.

There are 5 models of LaVida 1.5T, but the Star Edition is different from the regular edition only in the exterior kit and the configuration is the same. We can only compare the price and configuration differences of the Manyi version, the leading version and the forever version.

The price of 300TSI DSG Manyi Edition is 138,900 yuan, and the price of 300TSI DSG Leading Edition is 143,900 yuan, which is 5,000 yuan more expensive. In configuration, 4 ultrasonic radars are upgraded to 8, 8-inch central control panel is upgraded to 12-inch, 8-inch instrument panel is upgraded to 10.25-inch full LCD, leather/fabric mixed seat is upgraded to imitation leather, and manual air conditioner is upgraded to automatic. Added, satellite navigation, sports appearance kit, voice recognition control, OTA upgrade, 2-way adjustment of lumbar support of main driver’s seat, electric adjustment of main driver’s seat, front seat heating and temperature zone control. The above configuration is very practical, and the upgrade cost of 5000 yuan is worth it.

The price of 300TSI DSG Forever Edition is 151,900 yuan, which is 8,000 yuan more expensive than the leading version of 300TSI DSG. In the configuration, the 16-inch rim is upgraded to 17-inch, the tire width is increased from 205mm to 225mm, and the manual anti-glare of the inner rearview mirror is upgraded to automatic, which increases the side warning of the reversing car and the auxiliary line merging. Obviously, this cost is not cost-effective.

Conclusion: The most cost-effective version is the leading version of 300TSI DSG with 143,900 yuan.

Brother Kan’s comments:

LaVida’s practicality and reliability have been widely recognized, but the 1.4T engine is really old, and it can’t meet the higher expectations of current users from power to fuel consumption to emissions. The brand-new 1.5T engine is blessed with many new technologies, achieving stronger power and lower fuel consumption. In addition, as a high-profile model of the whole department, the standard L2 auxiliary is worthy of recognition, and the digital interaction has also reached the mainstream of the same level. Overall, the new car will play a positive role in maintaining the sales of LaVida.

　　[Special correspondent of Global Times in the United States and Germany Li Zhun Aoki Global Times reporter Guo Yuandan] Applause, booing and shouting … … On the evening of the 7th local time, US President Biden delivered his second State of the Union address in Congress. In his speech, he tried his best to show his achievements in his two years in office, while criticizing Republicans for obstructing his economic agenda, which was angrily countered by Republican lawmakers present, and "chaos broke out at the scene." Many media noticed that foreign policy was not the focus of Biden’s State of the Union address, but he still mentioned China many times in his speech. Biden reiterated his so-called "seeking competition with China, not conflict", saying that the interests of the United States will cooperate with China, but "if China threatens our sovereignty, we will take action". In this regard, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on the 8th that China has always believed that Sino-US relations are not a zero-sum game in which you lose and I win, and the success of China and the United States is an opportunity rather than a challenge to each other. The vast earth can fully accommodate the respective development and common prosperity of China and the United States. "China does not shy away from or fear competition, but it opposes defining the entire Sino-US relationship by competition. Under the banner of competition, it is not what a responsible country does to smear a country, restrict the legitimate development rights of other countries, and even damage the global industrial chain supply chain. "

　　"Republicans howled angrily" and "manners disappeared"

　　"In his 73-minute speech, Biden tried to describe a country that has improved significantly since he became president two years ago: from economic downturn to economic prosperity; From a country that is lame and tired of epidemics to a country that is reopened. " The Associated Press said that Biden hoped to reassure Americans who were troubled by pessimism and political differences, and urged Congress to cooperate with him to "complete the work of rebuilding the economy and uniting the country".

　　CNN said that in the first 45 minutes of Biden’s speech, acting like an adult seemed to be the common strategy of the democratic and Republican parties present. But when Biden accused Republicans of "trying to cut social security and medical insurance programs," "etiquette disappeared." According to the report, Biden’s speech caused dissatisfaction among Republicans, and chaos broke out at the scene. Republicans booed, and Republican congresswoman Marjory Taylor Green shouted "liar" at Biden. This scene was recorded by many media.

　　The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) said that Biden called for bipartisan cooperation in his speech to complete his economic agenda, but when talking about the White House asking Congress to raise the government’s debt ceiling, he "provoked a dispute" and "everything collapsed". Biden accused "a few Republicans" of coercing the government in the name of economy, in fact, he hoped to cut the expenditure on medical insurance and social security in the United States. "At this time, Mr. McCarthy, Speaker of the House of Representatives, frowned and Republicans howled angrily."

　　According to reports, earlier on the 7th, McCarthy warned his Republican colleagues to remain silent during Biden’s speech and abide by congressional etiquette. "Facts have proved that this is a futile effort — — And clearly shows the partisan hatred that runs through this session of the US Congress. " The BBC said. Washington post said on the 8th that 14 years ago, a Republican Congressman shouted "You are a liar" to Obama in Congress, which seemed to have crossed the bottom line. Now, Green does the same thing. "Tuesday’s speech marks that the trend of partisan struggle continues in this state of the union address, which is regarded as old-fashioned."

　　Biden’s reaction is also quite dramatic. CNN said that Biden’s accusation angered Republicans, who accused him of being a "liar". "This in itself is not unprecedented. What happened next was even rarer: Biden responded off the script and engaged in verbal confrontation with opponents. This surprised the White House officials. " German news TV said on the 8 th that the confident Biden switched to "attack mode", which was very belligerent. The New York Times commented that "Biden seems to like this melee" and "this seems to be the beginning of his re-election campaign".

　　The Wall Street Journal concluded on the 8th that Biden did not put forward a comprehensive new policy agenda in his State of the Union address. He stressed the need to make persistent efforts on the basis of the work so far and put forward some economic suggestions. This practice reflects the change in the power of Congress. Republicans in the House of Representatives are strongly opposing most of Biden’s proposed agenda and investigating his presidential duties and his family. The deadline for raising the US debt ceiling is approaching, and Biden and Republicans still have differences on this issue. The New York Times said directly that Biden’s domestic legislative agenda had almost come to an end under the background that Republicans controlled the House of Representatives.

　　Former US President Trump launched an attack on Biden on the 7th. According to the The Hill report, after Biden’s speech, Trump published his own version of "State of the Union Address". In this two-minute speech, he severely criticized Biden’s economic and immigration policies, saying that "I am running for president to end the destruction of our country and complete the unfinished business of making America great again." On the same day, Arkansas Governor Sanders responded to Biden’s speech on behalf of the Republican Party. "Biden lied to you," she said. "The Biden administration seems to be more interested in daydreaming than the harsh reality that Americans face every day."

　　China was mentioned many times in the speech.

　　"There is a saying that Americans only care about foreign policy when American soldiers die overseas. At least in this speech, Biden seems to keep this in mind. " The BBC said that Biden’s speech was almost entirely focused on domestic issues. He paid little attention to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and made no mention of the strong earthquakes in Syria and Turkey and the resulting humanitarian crisis.

　　However, when demonstrating his achievements, Biden repeatedly "benchmarked" China and played up the competition with China. "Before I took office, the story was about how China strengthened its strength and how the United States failed in the world. It won’t happen again. " Biden said, "(We) invest in innovation in the United States, invest in industries that will determine the future, and invest in industries that China intends to dominate." He also said: "Today, we are in the most advantageous position to compete with China or other countries in the world for decades. I will work to cooperate with China in areas that can promote US interests and benefit the world. " "Let’s be clear: winning the competition with China should unite all of us."

　　Regarding Sino-US relations, Biden claimed that he had made it clear to China that the United States "seeks competition, not conflict". The BBC said that although "China Balloon" was the big news in the United States last weekend, Biden only said one sentence at the end of his speech. "As we made it clear last week, if China threatens our sovereignty, we will take action to protect our country," he said. We did it. "

　　Russia’s "Viewpoint" reported on the 8th that Biden did not mention Russia once in his State of the Union address, but mentioned Russian President Vladimir Putin four times. National Public Radio (NPR) said: "In 2022, Ukraine is the battle slogan in Biden’s State of the Union address. But in 2023, not so much. " In his State of the Union speech a year ago, Biden severely criticized Russia almost from the beginning. But this year, it took him more than an hour to talk about the war. "One year after the conflict in Ukraine, Biden’s message and its acceptance in Congress have changed."

　　"Why did China refuse Austin’s call request? The US knows it well."

　　CNN believes that Biden’s "dramatic warning" to China in his State of the Union address is related to the tense political atmosphere of the two parties in the United States around the "China Balloon" incident. On the 7th, various agencies of the US government continued to release all kinds of information. The US Department of Defense said that on February 4th, when the US shot down the China balloon, US Defense Secretary Austin made a call request to China’s Defense Minister, but it was rejected by the Chinese side. On the 7th, the US military also released photos of the scene of salvaging the "China balloon". The State Council officials in the United States said that American officials recently briefed diplomats from 40 countries on the "China Balloon" incident and related investigations in Washington and Beijing. "I hope that the US will explain the situation to other countries based on objective facts." Mao Ning responded on the 8th.

　　Zhuo Hua, an expert on international issues at the School of International Studies of Beijing Foreign Studies University, said in an interview with the Global Times on the 8th that the United States knows well why China’s defense chief refused Austin’s call request. China’s civilian airship flew out of control over North America due to force majeure, but it was artificially instigated into a thorny diplomatic incident due to the hostility towards China and domestic political struggle of some people in American politics, which was an absurd farce in itself. However, the US military has the most advanced intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance system in the world, and has the most sufficient information. Obviously, it is the most aware of the harmless nature of this out-of-control civil airship, but it is willing to fall into the domestic political struggle in the United States and use force to shoot down civil aircraft. This is an irrational behavior that does not conform to international norms. While the US military shouted the slogan of "responsibly controlling the relations between the two countries and the two armies" through the media, it took irresponsible and reckless actions against China, trying to please the forces hostile to China in the United States, and at the same time trying to clear its responsibilities in front of China. China certainly cannot accept this kind of irresponsible behavior.

　　On the afternoon of the 7th EDT, the Chargé d ‘affaires of the Chinese Embassy in the United States, Xu Xueyuan, was ordered to make solemn representations to the State Council and senior officials of the White House National Security Council on the US military attack on China’s civilian unmanned airship. Xu Xueyuan pointed out that China firmly opposes and strongly protests against the use of force by the US to attack airships. We urge the US not to take further actions that may lead to escalation and complication. China reserves the right to make further necessary responses.
