在北約的坦克、戰鬥機等裝備先後加入戰局之後，雙方犧牲慘重的俄、烏戰爭終於正式以「俄、北之戰」(西班牙內戰21世紀版)的姿態問世。
不但馬克宏總統正式出面邀請中國調停烏國戰爭(《中國是唯一能改變俄烏戰局的國家》)；一直對中國「調和企圖」和「12點和平計畫」GGYY的美國(《故作矜持》)，也不得不由拜登總統拉下老臉拜個碼頭。此處請參見拙作：《中國終於出手》和《立即結束俄烏戰爭》。
天下沒有白吃的午餐，當然也沒有白幹活的和事佬。習大大如何漫天要價，就看他和王毅、秦剛幾位「外交戰狼」的談判火侯了。此處請參見：「這個『12點和平計劃』會不會包括『暗槓台灣』，」和「美國『圍堵』和『禁運』這兩大法寶就煙消雲散」。
馬克宏、拜登兩位國際大佬不但拜託中國幫助澆熄燒到他們屁股的火(《烏克蘭戰局前景困境》)，還邀請中國共同參與其它幾十年來西方列強束手無策的懸案：南、北兩個半球政府/人民之間的齟齬；氣候變化危機；和生物滅絕/地球生態危機等等。
看來，由美、歐主導的「自由主義國際秩序」要畫上句點了。

Macron, Biden want to engage China to end war in Ukraine, Elysee says
路透社，04/05/23
BEIJING (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron and U.S. President Joe Biden agreed in a telephone call ahead of a visit to Beijing by Macron to engage China to hasten the end of the war in Ukraine, the Elysee Palace said on Wednesday.
"The two leaders have mentioned their joint willingness to engage China to accelerate the end of the war in Ukraine and take part in building sustainable peace in the region," Macron's office said in a statement.
The Elysee said Macron and Biden both hoped China could contribute to solidarity efforts between the global north and global south and build a joint agenda for the climate and biodiversity. It did not elaborate.
Macron is visiting China from Wednesday to Friday. Chinese President Xi Jinping plans to hold talks with him to chart a course for bilateral relations, the Chinese foreign ministry said earlier.

考福林先生雖然談不上是學者，其蛋頭味還真重。他以下這篇評論只見滿紙「意識型態」，不識人間殺戮淒苦。
考福林蛋頭大概還沒聽到中國駐歐盟大使稱：「中俄關係無上限只是修辭而已」的評論。我建議他找本字典查查 ”realism (political)” 的意思。
Macron has humiliated himself – and the EU
Con Coughlin, 04/06/23
Nothing better illustrates the growing irrelevance in world affairs of some of Europe’s most prominent leaders than the sight of Emmanuel Macron, the French president, and Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Union, effectively prostrating themselves before Xi Jinping, China’s all-powerful leader.
At a moment when Western democracy faces an existential threat from the expanding power of autocratic regimes, its leaders should be pooling their resources to defend themselves, not indulging in obsequious behaviour towards hostile states.
Xi’s China makes no secret of its ambition to become the world’s dominant power, from its attempts to replace the dollar as the leading currency to its massive investment in the Chinese military with the explicit aim, as Xi himself declared last year, of “fighting and winning” wars by the middle of the century. Together with Russia, Iran and North Korea, China is fundamentally opposed to the freedom and liberal values that underpin Western democratic government, as is evident from its brutal suppression of democracy in Hong Kong and its aggressive stance towards Taiwan.
If the West is to withstand the generational challenge posed by autocracies, it needs to display strength and resolve. Instead, we have the decidedly unimpressive sight of Macron and von der Leyen making a joint visit to Beijing, apparently in the vain hope that they might be able to enlist Xi’s support in ending the war in Ukraine and develop a more constructive relationship with the West.
Some hope. It was only last month that Xi reaffirmed his deepening alliance with Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin. The two leaders, while notionally declaring their support for peace talks, insisted that Nato, not Russia, was ultimately responsible for provoking the Ukraine conflict.
At the same time, there is mounting evidence – gleaned from analysis of customs data by American investigators – that Beijing is supplying weapons to Russia to support its war effort against Ukraine.
And yet Macron has chosen this moment to lead a delegation of French businessmen on a tour of China’s regional capitals, apparently in the hope of expanding profitable trade ties with Beijing. Even more embarrassing is the fact that von der Leyen, who is supposed to represent Europe’s largest trading bloc, has been reduced to playing second fiddle to the French president, who took the liberty of arranging the visit on her behalf.
Macron’s shameful decision to abandon the cause of European unity in pursuit of improved French trade ties with Beijing will surprise no one given his conduct since the Ukraine crisis began. Rather than standing firm against Russian aggression, the French leader broke ranks by launching his own diplomatic initiative to negotiate a peace deal with Putin, which achieved nothing.
Von der Leyen’s presence in Beijing is even more problematic because it runs the risk of undermining the EU’s official policy of denouncing Russian aggression in Ukraine, a policy that carries less weight if the EU president is also intent on forging closer ties with Beijing, Russia’s main backer. Von der Leyen’s confused approach certainly raises questions about her suitability to become Nato’s next secretary general, a proposition that is being seriously mooted in some European security circles.
There are, of course, more effective ways of safeguarding the Western alliance than kowtowing to dictators like Xi, as Finland’s accession to the Nato alliance this week has shown.
One of Putin’s main justifications for launching his invasion of Ukraine was that he was acting in response to Nato’s expansion into territory he regards as falling within Moscow’s traditional sphere of influence. Finland, which fought a bitter war against the Soviets at the start of the Second World War, was one such country, having been forced by Moscow to remain neutral during the Cold War.
The fact that Finland, which has an 800-mile border with Russia, has now been welcomed into the Nato fold represents not only a major own goal for the Russian leader, but shows that the cause of European solidarity is still strong, irrespective of the antics of Macron and von der Leyen.
Indeed, rather than indulging in the pointless task of trying to reason with irreconcilable leaders like Xi, Western efforts would be far better spent bolstering ties with friendly states, as Nato is doing with the accession of Finland and, hopefully, Sweden, assuming Stockholm can overcome the objections of Hungary and Turkey.
The establishment of the Aukus defence pact between Britain, the US and Australia, is another encouraging development that shows the West is prepared to defend its interests against the likes of China. As is Britain’s decision to join the Asia-Pacific free trade area, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). Forging closer trade and security ties with friendly nations is more likely to safeguard our freedoms than pandering to Chinese autocrats.
