The recent visit of US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, to Paris showed the United States’ efforts to revive coordination with its traditional allies in the most complex issues, especially facing China’s rise on the international scene.

Indeed, after meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday, Blinken stressed that the United States and France are “on the same page” in insisting on “resisting the possibility of a Chinese-led world order.”

Blinken said China’s global dominance would be “deeply illiberal.”

On his first visit as minister to France, Blinken asserted, “Our goal is not to contain China or try to restrain China,” but rather to “defend a free and open international order.”

Blinken warned that “there will be no order” and the world will become “chaos”.

He added that the lack of order “will inevitably lead to conflict and this will inevitably lead most likely to our coming,” or Chinese hegemony.

“I found that President Macron thinks exactly the same way, and he focused on the need to achieve practical results,” he said.

Blinken’s meetings in France sent signals to the rearrangement of relations between the two sides of the Atlantic, after Europe had been talking for years about the need to formulate policies independent of Washington, especially during the rule of former US President Donald Trump, who was accused of “protectionism” and anti-globalization. .
