Although the news media hyped it up, but Leslie's trip to the Republic did not have any substantial results.

On several issues that are generally concerned by the outside world, China and the United States have not reached any consensus.

On the issue of "nuclear disarmament", the Republic has requested that the United States terminate the development plan of B-XX strategic bombers, SSBN-X strategic nuclear submarines and M-XX maneuverable strategic ballistic missiles, destroy B-2 and B-52h strategic bombers, reduce the number of B-1b strategic bombers to below 50, and retain up to 250 unescalated and modified "militia" ||| type strategic ballistic missiles, and 1 "Russia-Russia"-class strategic nuclear submarines

Cut by half; the United States has requested that the Republic stop the development plan of the H-99 strategic bomber, C98-class strategic nuclear submarine and DF maneuverable strategic ballistic missile, destroy all DF-type strategic ballistic missiles, retain up to 00 DF-3 series strategic ballistic missiles, and reduce the class and class strategic nuclear submarines to the following. Because the asking price of both sides is very high, which makes the other party unacceptable, the "nuclear disarmament" negotiations failed to achieve any substantial results.

On the issue of "trade dispute", the Republic proposed that both sides eliminate trade barriers at the same time and give the other party the most-favored-nation treatment; on the grounds that "the size of the US market is twice the size of the Republic", the United States asked the Republic to give the United States a comprehensive most-favored-nation treatment, and only agreed to eliminate trade barriers for some Republic commodities, including composite batteries and related products. The result is conceivable that the Republic will not accept the conditions issued by the United States.

On the issue of the "China-US Strategic Economic Cooperation Agreement", the Republic proposed that the United States must lift all restrictions on the Republic's capital, open all areas of the Republic's capital, including finance, manufacturing, aviation, aerospace, medical care, etc., and give the Republic's capital equal treatment and rights; the United States proposed that the Republic must fully open the domestic market to the United States capital, abolish all protection policies, and reduce government intervention requirements. There is no doubt that this issue cannot be discussed.

On the issue of "Asia-Pacific situation", the conflict between the two sides is even more acute. The Republic proposed that the United States will reduce its military forces deployed in the Western Pacific region by two-thirds within the next five years, withdraw its troops from South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia, and recognize the Republic's dominance in Northeast Asia, the South China Sea and the Western Pacific region; the United States proposed that the Republic will disband 30% on the existing basis within the next five years, withdraw its troops from Laos, Vietnam and other countries, stop all assistance to the Myanmar military government, and promise not to launch any military expansion. In the end, this issue is still not to be discussed.

The "process of globalization" itself is an illusory problem. With all countries implementing trade protectionism, the process of globalization has become meaningless, and both sides have not wasted much time on this issue.

When Leslie left Beijing, the two sides reached an agreement on two secondary issues.

First, US President Leslie visited China in early August, and Pang Xinglong visited the United States early next year; second, the United States invited Britain and France, and the Republic to invite Russia to hold a global nuclear disarmament negotiation preparation meeting at the end of the year.

Relatively speaking, Leslieken's visit to Beijing is more important than any consensus reached between the two sides.

On July 11, on the third day of Leslie's departure from Beijing, US President Frederick submitted a bill to the House of Representatives to lift the military embargo against China.

Once the news was announced, domestic American news media first "exploded".

The "radicalists" representing the nn believe that Frederick's move seriously damaged the national interests of the United States. It set a bad precedent for the United States' foreign policy. It will seriously weaken the United States' international prestige and voice in international affairs. It has a very far-reaching negative impact on the United States' foreign policy.

The "realists" representing CBS believe that Frederick's move is of great significance to ease Sino-US relations. It is of great help to improve the international status of the United States, the influence of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, and the international image of the United States. It has opened a new era of US diplomacy. It is beneficial to the United States.

Like the press response, the U.S. House of Representatives was also divided into two distinct factions.

Republican lawmakers representing arms interest groups firmly support the president's proposal to submit. They believe that it is meaningless to continue to implement the military embargo on China. The relevant bills will be abolished as soon as possible. We will carry out more in-depth military cooperation and exchanges with China. This will not only alleviate the diplomatic pressure in the United States, but also bring hundreds of thousands of jobs to the United States and provide development momentum for the United States' arms industry, manufacturing, electronics and other industries.

The views of Democratic lawmakers are completely opposite, believing that after lifting the military embargo against China, the advanced US military technology will flow into the hands of potential hostile countries, which will not only not help the US national security, but will instead put the US at a more serious threat.

Some Democratic lawmakers also proposed that after China obtains US weapons and military technology, it will suppress the US desire in the international arms market, causing hundreds of thousands or even millions of American workers to be unemployed.

According to US law, House members can express their opinions on the bill and debate.

If lawmakers have serious differences, a bill will be debated for months, or even years.

Even if the bill is passed in the House of Representatives, it must be submitted to the Senate for consideration and must be obtained in the Senate.

>The bill can only take effect if it is made.

If the House and Senate make changes to the details of the bill during the debate, the president will need to re-approve it.

If the president makes amendments to the content of the bill when reapproving the bill, it must be submitted to both houses of Congress for review again.

It would be strange if it took a few months to go through a series of handicaps.

The United States began to act, but European countries could no longer sit still.

On July 13, the French President took advantage of the opportunity of the EU's high-level summit for political integration to hold an informal meeting with the British Prime Minister in London, demanding that the UK make substantial concessions to lift the military embargo against China as soon as possible in order to consider the interests of EU countries. Subsequently, the heads of government or national heads of state of Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria and other countries first and then hold informal meetings with the British Prime Minister =: or use a hotline to put pressure on the UK.

According to the media's speculation, as the vast majority of EU member states support the lifting of the military embargo against China, the United States has also taken a substantial first step, and Britain can only compromise.

Two weeks later, France, Germany, Italy and Czech Republic once again proposed to lift the military embargo against China at the EU Council.

On August 3, after a week of debate, the European Council voted. As speculated by the outside world, Britain did not vote against it in the vote.

The next day, the rotating President of the EU, Irish Prime Minister Elfindo signed the "Military Cooperation Agreement with China".

At this point, the EU officially lifted the military embargo against China, but not all restrictions were lifted.

When the EU Council was deliberating on the new bill, the UK clearly put forward the "lowest bottom line", including prohibiting the sale of offensive forces to China, as well as weapons and military technology that can be used for offensive forces, prohibiting the sale of strategic forces to China, and military technology that has an auxiliary role to strategic weapons and equipment. To this end, the EU Council specially established the "Military Cooperation Committee against China" composed of seven member states in the Mainland, which gave the committee the power to review all military cooperation agreements against China, and any member has a veto.

The Republic is not positive about the EU's actions.

"To put it bluntly, the EU only wants to obtain military technology from us." As the "major general" of the Republic's technology, Pan Yunsheng is very clear about the EU's intentions. "For the past few years, France and Germany have been in contact with us, hoping to obtain composite battery production technology from us and establish composite battery production bases in Europe. In addition to civilian use, France and Germany are also salivating about the use of composite batteries in the military field. Not to mention other places, in the first half of this year, we arrested and expelled more than 20 French-German intelligence personnel suspected of stealing composite battery technology. Now, the EU has opened a hole in the military embargo, but does not want to take out its own bottom cargo. It just wants us to take action, and it is clear that we want to take advantage of us."

Zhao Rundong laughed and said, "So, we can't be fooled?"

"Of course you can't be fooled." Pan Yunsheng was stunned for a moment and handed a look at Li Cunxun sitting next to him.

"France and Germany have been working hard to develop composite batteries, but they have not made substantial progress for a long time. According to the information we have, the development progress of France and Germany is even much slower than that of Russia.

"Li Cunxun's tone was very peaceful and without any sense of color. "When the French President met with the British Prime Minister, it was clearly mentioned that lifting the military embargo was only to obtain our local technology through military cooperation. The French President even made a promise that as long as the UK supports lifting the military embargo, France will share with the UK all the achievements made in composite battery technology. Although EU countries have not officially proposed specific plans for military cooperation to our country, it can be expected that the EU will definitely make a fuss about the technology of composite battery."

"I think this matter cannot be done in one size fits the whole thing." Zhao Rundong pondered for a while and said, "At the beginning of the year, the experimental center came up with several new production processes for private enterprises to participate in the production of composite batteries on a large scale. The main purpose is to control the output of advanced composite batteries. If there is a production process that can only produce composite batteries below level 6 that we have already sold to the world, it can be used as a negotiation weight and requires European countries to provide the military technology we need."

"The key depends on whether there is such a production process."

"It depends on the results of the experimental center. Let's make assumptions first, and if so, how should we talk to European countries."

Pan Yunsheng thought for a while and said, "Even so, our asking price cannot be too low."

"Of course, European countries must come up with real materials." Zhao Rundong smiled and said, "You go and prepare and summarize the military technology we urgently need. In addition, discuss with Pang Xinglong to see if we have any needs in other aspects. Anyway, the price is offered everywhere and the money is paid. Whether the talk can be successful depends on the attitude of the EU."

Pan Yunsheng didn't say anything else, because composite batteries below level 6 will soon be "outdated".

If the Republic does not trade with the EU, it will be cheaper for the United States!
