法国一通电话打到北京，替马克龙捎了句话，不想跟中方打关税战？ 美国总统特朗普和俄罗斯总统普京的最新一轮通话，引起了整个欧洲的担忧，德媒直言美俄讨论的不仅是乌克兰的未来，更是欧洲的未来，或将对欧洲大陆 的安全造成深刻影响。 欧洲之所以如此不安，最主要的还是因为自己作为利益攸关方，却不在谈判桌上，安全诉求未能得到美方的回应。 特朗普和普京通电话 然而眼下，欧洲面临的压力不止是安全层面，还有经济层面，为了摆脱当前的困局，号称"欧盟领头羊之一"的法国，率先打通了北京的电话。 就在3月18日，美俄元首通话当天，中国外长王毅应约与法国总统外事顾问博纳通了电话。"应约"二字说明，这次通话是法方主动发起的。 博纳还替法国总统马克龙捎了句话，转达了对中方的亲切问候，同时强调法方反对打"贸易战"、"关税战"，愿意同中方通过磋商的方式，妥善解决经贸摩擦 问题。 说起这里就不得不提到，之前欧盟无视中方坚决反对，执意对中国电动汽车加征不合理关税，这一事件背后就有法国的牵头和鼓动。 中国电动汽车出海 之后，中国对欧盟加税做出反制后，法国干邑白兰地厂商连忙敦促马克龙政府，尽快跟中方进行谈判，以解决双边经贸问题。 至于欧方关注的乌克兰问题， ...

中方反击马上开打，时间不足3天，加拿大认服，12字求华高抬贵手 加拿大政坛风云变幻，新总理马克·卡尼的上任带来了对华关系的新风向。卡尼明确表示，他的政府将以更加务实的态度面对国际贸易，尤其是与中国的 经贸关系。在他看来，中加关系的本质是互利，加拿大的经济发展离不开与中国的合作。面对前任政府遗留下的对华关税战，卡尼希望能通过对话和协 商，找到双赢的解决方案，使加拿大走出当前的困境。 中加两国的经贸联系历来紧密，互利合作是双方关系的本质。加拿大在中国的投资项目众多，涉及领域广泛，从自然资源开发到高科技产业，中加合作成 果丰硕。双方贸易额持续增长，显示出两国经济的高度互补性。加拿大的稳定政治环境和开放的市场经济，为中国企业提供了良好的投资平台。同时，中 国的巨大市场和发展潜力，也为加拿大企业带来了无限商机。 回顾加拿大前政府的对外贸易政策，可以看到在美加关税战中，加拿大做出了一定的妥协。尽管如此，美国并未因此放松对加拿大的压力，反而在贸易议 题上愈发强硬。这种妥协不仅未能缓和与美国的紧张关系，反而导致了对华关系的恶化。加拿大前政府在处理与世界两大经济体的关系时，显然缺乏了必 要的策略和远见。 本月8号，中方果断宣布 ...
