Europe’s furor about “Chinese espionage” stems from U.S. pressure
There is an old saying in China, “Do not beat the grass if you want to catch the snake.” It is applicable to spies as well. Like the snake in the grass, secret agents spying in foreign countries should never be alarmed unless there is incontrovertible proof to convict them. Otherwise,they will simply disappear instead of being caught.
安装压浆器→调试压浆设备→安装压浆管道→配置浆液→调试压力（压力从大到小递减）→调试浆量（浆量从大到小递减）→输送浆液→结束压浆→封闭孔口（一般用球阀封闭）→清洗设备及管道→拆除管道。
In principle, it’s simple to understand.However, in reality, things are not so simple.
Recently, there has been a furor about“Chinese espionage” in some European countries. According to a report in Germany’s Welt am Sonntag newspaper on February 9, the European External Action Service (EEAS) has warned that there are hundreds of Russian and Chinese intelligence agents operating in Brussels.
According to the report, the EEAS estimates there are “about 250 Chinese and 200 Russian spies in the European capital.”Diplomats and military officials have been reportedly advised to avoid certain parts of Brussels’ European quarter, including a popular steakhouse and a cafe near the European Commission’s main building.
预习的过程是粗略，还是精细，要根据课程的特点而定。数学和语文的预习方法肯定是不一样的。语文可能就是读读课文，标出生字，查查字典即可。数学则不同，涉及一些概念，需要我们理解，涉及一些推导过程，需要我们仔细研究。因此，学好数学，需要进行比较精细的预习过程。
Since the European debt crisis in 2009, the power of Europe has been waning while China’s national strength has increased. Along with rapid development,many Chinese companies have become more competitive in the international market. This reality is hard to accept by many European countries, Jin Ling, an associate researcher on EU foreign policy with the China Institute of International Studies, told Beijing Review.
“As Chinese economic and political ambitions grow in Lithuania and other NATO and EU countries, activities of the Chinese intelligence and security services become increasingly aggressive,” the State Security Department and the Second Investigation Department said, as per the Baltic News Network.
对于表 1所列地震的计算结果，MS和 MS(BB)的对比情况如图2所示。图上可以看出，MS震级整体比MS(BB)大，相减之后的结果统计如图 3。MS和 MS(BB)的差值分布在0.0和0.3之间。差值在0.2的地震个数最多，为28个，占到总数的66.67%；差值在0.3和0.1的地震共有12个，占总数的 28.57%；差值在 0.0的地震共有 2个，占总数的4.76%。平均差值为0.195。
Clearly, European countries are obsessed with spy conspiracies. If the allegations were true, it would have been more logical for the supposedly spied-on countries to directly block the espionage activities to defend national interests.Instead, they have simply chosen to spout off allegations, mostly via the media.
Behind the spy mania
政治动员是在应对重大灾害时无法实现正规程序的流程，需要党中央和政府进行现场指挥，发布特殊情况政策，引导社会组织与成员高度重视，高效率调动社会公共资源，号召社会各界的力量参与。因此，需要以下动员方式和内容：一是组织动员，行政动员的具体实行过程，依托于政府的各级组织进行上传下达的动员，已达到被动员人对灾难的认知，从而能及时的参与救援中。二是社区动员，社区动员从属于组织动员的一部分，是借助于基层的行政组织，如居委会。三是媒介动员，大众传媒一直以来都是宣传者使用的方法，这种方式具有时效性，能快速的将信息发布，得到相关人员的支持，社会科技的发展为信息沟通带来了便利。
印支-燕山期因挤压作用，在逆断层下盘形成挤压褶皱，其轴线平行于逆断层走向，在褶皱顶部派生一系列张性构造裂缝，主裂缝走向北西且平行逆断层，如桩古9、桩古9-2、桩古10-17井等高产井均为该类裂缝后期的风化、剥蚀和溶蚀作用提高了储集性能，特别是为潜山的峰区，溶蚀作用更强烈，形成大的溶洞。
“The reality behind the spy mania is that European countries are facing more pressure from the United States to unify in order to contain China,” Zhang Jian,a researcher on European studies with the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations in Beijing, told Beijing Review. “Beijing is projected as a strategic competitor by Washington.Against the background of Sino-U.S. trade tensions, the United States is further pressuring its European allies to follow its steps to restrain China, especially regarding 5G telecom technology.”
The pressure is blatant. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo undertook a fivenation tour in Europe recently, during which he threatened to scale back certain operations in Europe if those countries continued to do business with Chinese telecom company Huawei. According to Associated Press, Pompeo said in Budapest that nations would have to choose between Huawei and the United States.
For some European countries, the stability of their alliance with the United States is perhaps more crucial to them.“By hyping up the so-called Chinese spy allegations they have catered to the United States, trying to consolidate the alliance with Washington,” Zhang said.
Like the United States, some other countries have also blacklisted Huawei“essentially because of strategic consideration, rather than national security,” Jin said. “Securitization of non-security issues is just for creating more hype.”
Also, a few days ago, Lithuania added China to its list of national threats and warned of “increasingly aggressive Chinese spying” on its soil. In the annual National Threat Assessment 2019 report, Lithuanian intelligence agencies accused China of launching “increasingly aggressive” espionage campaigns, spy recruitments and the use of tech companies as surveillance assets.
技术是企业的核心竞争力。青龙管业长期重视科技创新，成效显著，发起成立了中国预应力钢筒混凝土管质量联盟，现为该联盟理事长单位。日前其全资子公司天津海龙管业有限责任公司预应力钢筒混凝土管三期工程获得天津市滨海新区2013年度工业技术改造专项资金，再次体现了公司在技术方面的优势。据了解，该资金主要用于对列入天津市重大工业项目名录、属于新区支柱优势产业、符合新区工业发展规划的技改项目给予重点支持，引导战略性新兴产业发展等项目给予资金支持。对于青龙管业来说，这一收获意义重大，将为公司发展注入新的动力。
This explains why Lithuania placed China, a remote country over 6,000 km away, on its list of threats along with its immediate neighbor Russia, for the first time since its independence in the early 1990s.Due to its feud with Russia, Lithuania has been desperate to make Washington keep its security commitment. In November 2002, when then U.S. President George W. Bush gave a speech in the city hall in Lithuanian capital Vilnius, he famously said,“Anyone who would choose Lithuania as an enemy has also made an enemy of the United States of America.”
According to analysts, the reason is quite simple. It is just another round of groundless accusations hyping up the “China threat”theory, the objective being to consolidate the EU-U.S. bond against the current China-U.S.tensions. Europe’s fears and suspicions about China’s rapid development have also fanned these flames. However, at a time when their old ally is infatuated with the America First policy, European leaders should consider their long-term interests while making policies.
China’s presence in Europe has become stronger in recent years. While some interpret this as China’s increasing influence in this region, many mistake influence as espionage, Zhang said. “It is important for European countries to distinguish normal Chinese activities from the so-called prying,” he said.

Long term gains
The allegations have cast a shadow on Sino-EU relations. “European countries could have conducted a higher level of cooperation with China,” Zhang said. How should China respond? In his opinion, China should enhance communication with European countries to strengthen mutual understanding and promote objective and fair treatment by them.
European countries, on their part,should adjust their mentality to adapt to the changing China, especially given the fact that China’s giant market offers multiple opportunities. “European countries should adjust their attitude and conduct closer cooperation with China, which will be beneficial to both,” Zhang said.
However, as another Chinese saying goes, the trees prefer calm but the wind will not subside. Jin feels what China can do is limited. As the Sino-U.S. trade negotiation continues, will European countries continue to dance to the U.S. tune calling for suppressing China? In Jin’s opinion, “It depends on how they balance their shortterm and long-term interests.”
In the short term, staying with the United States might be in their interest.Besides their alliance, their similar cultural and historical links have strengthened their bond. “Moreover, some countries might have gained from the Sino-U.S.trade tensions as some trade went to their companies,” she said. “However, they would suffer if there is a trade decoupling between China and the United States and a segmentation of the global value and supply chains.”
In the long term, the disparity in their strategic considerations might finally drive the EU and the United States apart. “The unilateralism and trade protectionism preached by the United States go against the longterm interests of Europe as the EU pursues an open global market and multilateralism.To attain that goal, EU countries must closely cooperate with China,” Jin said. ■
