Chinas Außenhandelsvolumen in den ersten vier Monaten dieses Jahres ist im Vergleich zum Vorjahreszeitraum um 7,9 Prozent auf 12,58 Billionen Yuan RMB gestiegen. Wie das chinesische Hauptzollamt am Montag bekannt gab, sind die Exporte um 10,3 Prozent auf 6,97 Billionen Yuan RMB und die Importe um fünf Prozent auf 5,61 Billionen Yuan RMB gewachsen.
Li Kuiwen, Leiter der Abteilung für Statistikanalyse des chinesischen Hauptzollamts, sagte, trotz der komplizierten und strengen Lage des Außenumfelds zeige das Wachstum des chinesischen Außenhandelsvolumens, dass sich die Fundamentaldaten der chinesischen Wirtschaft wie die starke Widerstandsfähigkeit, das große Potenzial, der große Handlungsspielraum und die langfristige positive Entwicklungstendenz nicht ändern würden. Das Erreichen des Ziels der Stabilitätserhaltung und Qualitätserhöhung des chinesischen Außenhandels für das ganze Jahr könne dadurch gut unterstützt werden.

France’s presidential election ended on 24 April with Macron (58% of the vote), the candidate of the Republic Forward party, defeating Le Pen (42% of the vote), the candidate of the far-right National Front (RN).
Le Pen spoke after her defeat. She said, “The result of the second round of voting is already a brilliant success in itself.” Le Pen received only 33.9% of the vote in the second round of the 2017 French election.
The far-right has not only emerged strongly in France but also grown the sphere of influence of this political faction in other European countries. In recent years, the far-right has been moving aggressively on the European continent. The rise of the far-right in France and Europe will have an important impact on the European Union, the transatlantic alliance between Europe and the United States, and world politics.
The merging of the right into the far-right is one of the biggest changes in the French election. The French far-right has continued to bring far-left forces together around itself. The US Institute for Policy Studies has posted data showing that a growing number of voters who support left-wing parties will support Le Pen in the second round of the French election, confirmed in the final round. Although Melenchon called on voters not to cast a single vote for Le Pen, a survey showed that only 36% of voters who backed Melenchon pledged to support Macron, while 27% said they supported Le Pen in this election. Only 7% of Melenchon’s supporters said they were willing to support Le Pen in the second round of voting in the 2017 election.
In addition, young and middle-aged users of social media favored extremist parties more in this French election. This phenomenon is seen not only in France, but also in other European countries. Many young Europeans find extremist party figures “refreshing” in some ways, whereas traditional politicians like to talk about things without addressing real problems. Some European leaders may be recognising the seriousness of the problem and are beginning to embrace social media. The Spanish Prime Minister’s Office recently prepared a TikTok account for the Prime Minister to attract young voters.
Some presses believe that the far-right will be the winner in the European election year 2022. Not only in France, but also in many European countries, where traditional parties are in decline and the far-right is on the rise in European politics.
Since the refugee crisis in 2015, far-right parties in many European countries have achieved greater success than before. The gradual acceptance of far-right parties in various countries is evidenced by the fact that their members continue to enter government at all levels.
Spain’s far-right party, Vox, has also recently been elected to the government of Spain’s autonomous region of Castilla y León. Founded in 2013, in December 2018, Vox became the first far-right party to enter the autonomous region’s parliament since the 1975 democratic reforms, when it took 12 seats in the Andalusian parliamentary elections. In 2019, Spain had two parliamentary elections in April and in November. In the first election,Vox won 24 seats. In the second parliamentary elections, Vox gained 52 seats and became the third-largest party.
In Austria’s 2017 general election, the far-right Freedom Party received 26% of the vote, the party’s strongest performance in a general election in almost 20 years. The Freedom Party and the People’s Party have since formed a coalition government.
In Germany, the strength of far-right parties is also growing. In the 2017 general election, the far-right Alternative for Germany, which was founded just four years ago, won 12.6% of the vote and became the third-largest party in the Bundestag for the first time.
Far-right parties across Europe are also actively forming transnational alliances. According to French media, in July 2021, far-right, conservative, and independent parties from several EU countries signed a joint declaration aimed at building an alliance, including the French National Alliance, the Polish Law and Justice Party, and the Italian Unionist Movement Party. The meeting was held in Warsaw on 4 December 2021. Le Pen told the public that the conference aimed to create a large grouping in the European Parliament, which would together form the second-largest force in the European Parliament.
The rapid rise of the far-right in Europe has led to discussions about how to reverse public support for the far-right. According to the Guardian, some European party strategists believe that mainstream parties should adopt tougher policies in areas such as immigration and integration so that far-right parties will not have a “foothold”.
However, it turns out that simply adopting tougher policies will not bring voters back into the fold of mainstream parties, but rather legitimize the ideas and political agendas of far-right parties. For example, in the run-up to the 2018 elections in Bavaria, Germany, the CSU endorsed many of the hardline immigration policies proposed by the Alternative for Germany party, yet in the elections, the CSU lost a large number of votes while the Alternative for Germany gained 10.2% of the vote. This phenomenon was also seen in other European countries. Le Pen’s statement may explain this phenomenon, “Why should voters choose a copy when they have the original?”
Some analysts believe that the rise of the far-right is closely related to the “pessimistic” and “declinist” atmosphere in Europe. The Europeans feel that Europe has lost its strength, and the attacks by the extremist group Islamic State in several countries have largely contributed to this mood and atmosphere. Plus, a growing number of voters believe that traditional political parties are unable to solve their problems. When traditional political ideas are disappointing, extremist parties emerge.
Oliver Fuchs, a scholar of European politics in Berlin, Germany, told the Global Times that the history of far-right parties in Europe dates back to WWII, and after decades, they were revitalized in the 1980s and 1990s. In the 21st century, terrorist attacks such as the 911 have provided “sustenance” for far-right parties. However, it was the refugee crisis of 2015 that brought about the rise of far-right parties. This crisis became a “melting pot of European problems” and many people wanted to change the status quo by supporting far-right parties.
At the economic level, the abhorrence of economic globalization by some people in Europe and the US has also been the ground for the growth of far-right parties. Studies have shown that over the past half-century, centrist politicians on both the left and the right in Europe have embraced economic globalization, but this phenomenon has not brought many benefit to a significant proportion of workers and fixed income earners in Europe and the US, who feel left behind and have come to despise the political elite as a whole, and the far-right has seized this opportunity to rally around these people who have been left behind by the times.
In addition, the economic crisis of 2008, the COVID-19 epidemic, and the Russian-Ukrainian crisis have further deepened the dissatisfaction of the European public with the social status quo, which in turn has manifested itself in antipathy towards traditional political parties. At the same time, the rise of nationalism in the United States and Brexit have also contributed to the development of the far-right in Europe.
A major characteristic of the European far-right in dealing with international relations is that it emphasizes the priority of national interests and is relatively conservative. It is conceivable that when dealing with foreign relations, these parties will still, to a large extent, emphasize the priority of real interests and may pay less attention to ideological issues.

Der stellvertretende chinesische Außenminister Le Yucheng hat am Freitag verschiedene absurde Anschuldigungen zurückgewiesen, mit denen China eine Mitschuld am Russland-Ukraine-Konflikt angedichtet werden soll.
In seiner Rede bei einem Online-Dialog von Think Tanks aus 20 Ländern unter dem Motto: „Frieden suchen und Entwicklung fördern“ bekräftigte Le, China habe seit Beginn des russisch-ukrainischen Konflikts an Fairness und Gerechtigkeit festgehalten, setze sich für die Förderung von Frieden und Gesprächen ein und beteilige sich aktiv an humanitärer Hilfe.
Ganz im Gegenteil hätten einige Großmächte die Ukraine als Kanonenfutter ausgenutzt, um Russland zu schwächen. Sie strebten danach, auf Kosten des Lebens der Ukraine ihre Großmachtambitionen zu befriedigen und ihre geostrategischen Ziele zu erreichen. China halte an der friedlichen Entwicklung fest und habe niemals Streitigkeiten geschürt. Daher gebe es keinen Grund, China mitschuldig zu machen. Und jeder Versuch, die Ukraine-Krise im asiatisch-pazifischen Raum zu kopieren, werde nie gelingen, so Chinas Vizeaußenminister.

Bis Mittwoch Ortszeit lag die Zahl der COVID-19-Toten in den Vereinigten Staaten bei über einer Million. Damit sind die USA das Land mit den meisten COVID-19-Toten weltweit. Nach Angaben der US-amerikanischen Zentren für Seuchenkontrolle und -prävention werden in den nächsten zwei Wochen in den USA etwa 5.000 Menschen an COVID-19 sterben.
Nach Angaben von National Broadcasting Company（NBC） traten alle 1 Million dieser Todesfälle innerhalb von 27 Monaten nach dem COVID-19-Ausbruch in den USA auf, und mehr als die Hälfte davon nach dem Amtsantritt der derzeitigen US-Regierung. Obwohl Joe Biden zu Beginn seiner Amtszeit erklärte, er wolle die Impfraten erhöhen, und sich zum Ziel setzte, „bis zum Unabhängigkeitstag (4. Juli) des Jahres 70 Prozent der Bevölkerung zu impfen“, sei ihm dies letztlich nicht gelungen. Die neuesten Prognosemodelle der US-amerikanischen Zentren für Seuchenkontrolle und -prävention zeigten einen deutlichen Anstieg der COVID-19-Todesfälle und Krankenhausaufenthalte in den kommenden Wochen, so der NBC-Bericht.

Die Vereinigten Staaten haben die Regeln nicht eingehalten und mit skrupellosen Mitteln und auf unverantwortliche Weise die Entwicklung von Internet und digitaler Technik in China verhindert, um seine Dominanz und Monopolstellung auf diesem Gebiet zu erhalten.
Dies erklärte der Sprecher des chinesischen Außenministeriums Zhao Lijian am Freitag auf einer regulären Pressekonferenz in Beijing.
Weiter sagte er, die USA hätten Spaltungen herbeigeführt, Konfrontationen geschürt und andere Länder gezwungen, ihre eigenen Interessen zu schützen. Dies untergrabe ernsthaft die Solidarität der internationalen Gemeinschaft und die Bemühungen um die Förderung der globalen Governance für den Cyberspace.
Als Reaktion auf die Äußerung von US-Militärbeamten über eine „nukleare Bedrohung durch China“ führte Zhao aus, der Endzweck der USA bestehe darin, die Atomstreitkräfte der USA aufrechtzuerhalten und zu verstärken. Die Vereinigten Staaten stellten weltweit die größte nukleare Bedrohung dar.
Zur unangemessenen Äußerung Japans erklärte Zhao Lijian, Japan sollte sofort aufhören, Konfrontationen zwischen Großmächten zu provozieren und mehr dazu beitragen, das gegenseitige Vertrauen zwischen Ländern in der Region zu verstärken sowie Frieden und Stabilität in der Region zu fördern, wenn es sich wirklich für Frieden und Stabilität in Ostasien einsetzen wolle.
In Bezug auf das nuklear verseuchte Wasser aus dem Atomkraftwerk Fukushima in Japan erklärte Zhao, China fordere die japanische Seite erneut auf, den legitimen und berechtigten Bedenken der internationalen Gemeinschaft und des japanischen Volkes Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken und sich umfassend mit Interessengruppen, den Nachbarländern und mit relevanten internationalen Institutionen zu beraten, um eine Lösung des Problems zu finden, statt weiter den Plan für die Abwassereinleitung ins Meer zu verfolgen und ihn zu fördern.
Die Zahl der Investitionsprojekte chinesischer Unternehmen in Deutschland lag im Jahr 2021 auf Platz drei, direkt hinter den USA und der Schweiz. Dies geht aus dem am Donnerstag veröffentlichten „Bericht über Investitionen ausländischer Unternehmen in Deutschland 2021“ der Germany Trade & Invest hervor.
Die Zahl der Investitionen ausländischer Unternehmen in Deutschland 2021 sei gegenüber dem Vorjahr um mehr als sieben Prozent gestiegen, so der Bericht weiter. Insgesamt 1.806 ausländische Investitionsprojekte seien im vergangenen Jahr in Deutschland gestartet worden, was fast dem Niveau vor dem Ausbruch der COVID-19-Pandemie entspreche. 149 der Investitionsprojekte stammten aus China.
Dem Bericht zufolge konzentrieren sich die chinesischen Investitionsprojekte in Deutschland hauptsächlich auf die Bereiche Maschinenbau und Anlagenherstellung, Autoindustrie, Produktion von Lebensmitteln und Konsumwaren sowie Informations- und Telekommunikationstechnologien und Telekommunikationssoftware.

The intense geopolitical conflict currently erupting in Europe should be seen as a war against the old order, with the U.S. government targeting Russian institutions and individuals involved in information and communication technologies.
On March 31, the U.S. State Department stated sanctions against Russian technology companies and cyber actors, stating that it would take the lead in imposing sanctions on 21 Russian entities and 13 Russian individuals involved in software and communications technology, supercomputer manufacturing, chip and navigation equipment manufacturing, to further block Russia’s access to Western technology and financial resources.
In addition, the United States continues to strengthen its network of multilateral sanctions against Russia. Wally Adeyemo, Deputy Secretary of the US Department of the Treasury, recently visited Brussels to coordinate closely with the EU, aiming at expanding the scope of joint sanctions and improving joint sanctions mechanisms in the field of digital information and communications.
Under the increasing U.S. strategic competition with China, digital suppression of China is also deepening. The U.S. government’s distrust of technology companies with a Chinese background continues to rise.
On March 16, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decided to revoke the authorization of China’s Pacific Networks and its wholly-owned subsidiary ComNet to provide telecommunications services in the United States. In addition, the U.S. is reviewing whether Chinese technology giant Alibaba’s cloud service business, Alibaba Cloud, poses a national security risk, claiming that there is a risk that sensitive data, including information on U.S. citizens and institutions, could be “stolen” by the Chinese government.
In addition to increasing prevention efforts, the U.S. is also taking an offensive approach by strengthening its critical capacity building in the digital sector. On March 22, the U.S. Senate voted to pass the Next Generation Telecommunications Act, S.3014. The bill would authorize the formation of a “Next Generation Telecommunications Commission” to promote U.S. government support for research and development of advanced communications technologies. The Commission would also develop a national telecommunications strategy to maintain U.S. leadership in global information, ensure the resilience of U.S. telecommunications networks, promote cooperation between the U.S. government and the private sector and U.S. allies, and enhance the diversity and security of the ICT supply chain.
Semiconductors are a top priority for the U.S. On March 21, the U.S. Department of Commerce held a meeting on how to promote semiconductor R&D and manufacturing capabilities, with Commerce Secretary Raimondo, Republican Senator Todd Young, Democratic Congresswoman Doris Matsui, former Trump assistant for national security affairs Herbert McMaster, retired lieutenant general, and former deputy secretary of state for economic affairs in the Trump administration Keith Krach, etc., attended the meeting. Raimondo emphasized that semiconductors are the backbone of the economy, and their importance is growing with the digitization of the global economy. To advance in the field of semiconductors, the Biden administration even asked for advice from senior officials during the Trump administration.
It is worth noting that the issue of digital assets such as digital currency has also become the focus of the United States to promote digital competition. On March 9, Biden signed an Executive Order on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets. The executive order proposes a series of specific initiatives, including addressing illicit financing and national security risks associated with the illegal use of digital assets, maintaining U.S. leadership in the global financial system, and accelerating the Federal Reserve’s digital currency research and development.
The Biden administration and its allies, including the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Japan, are accelerating the development of rules for the digital economy. In late March, U.S. Trade Representative David Deitch and U.K. International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan co-chaired the first joint U.S./UK Dialogues on the Future of Atlantic Trade. They proposed to develop digital trade rules for G7 countries in the U.K.’s presidency of the G7. On March 25, the U.S. and the European Commission announced that they had reached an agreement in principle on a new Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework, and the two sides would continue to deepen their partnership as democracies and further develop policy cooperation on the digital economy.
In the Indo-Pacific direction, the Biden administration hopes to use the digital economy chapter of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement and the U.S.-Japan Digital Trade Agreement as a model to develop digital rules under the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework. The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework is a concept proposed by Biden in September 2021, and specific proposals are expected to be announced this year. The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework will promote so-called democratic and transparent digital governance standards, promote the free flow of data and privacy protection, and prohibit and limit data localization requirements in areas such as financial services. The arrangement will also focus on improving digital economy accessibility for SMEs in the Indo-Pacific region, promoting the implementation of APEC cross-border privacy rules and other agreements, addressing cyber attacks and cyber theft, and managing fraudulent online business practices. In addition, the digital governance of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework also involves setting standards and rules for the use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and financial technologies and promoting coordination among relevant countries on export control of sensitive technologies.
It is worth noting that in addition to the eager support of Japan and Australia for the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, South Korea, which has a significant influence in the digital field, has also shown a positive attitude. With the rise of the pro-US leader Yoon Seok-yeol, South Korea will further lean on the US to counterbalance China and increase its ties with the quadrilateral mechanism of the US, Japan, India, and Australia. South Korea has proposed to promote the U.S.-Korea alliance as a comprehensive strategic alliance, with cooperation in the digital field as a key element. According to the Korean Ministry of Economy and Finance, the United States will account for the largest share of the country’s foreign direct investment in 2021, jumping 81.8% year on year, with the semiconductor industry being a key target.
In short, the digital economy and its closely related advanced technologies have become the battlefield of strategic competition among major powers. The U.S. and the EU have closely linked the game in the digital sphere with ideological and geopolitical factors, and are increasingly focusing on dealing with the so-called “digital authoritarianism”. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict is a strong catalyst for this trend. In the coming period, more rising countries may face a growing digital cold war.
