June 23rd, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban publicly called for the removal of Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, criticizing her failure in leading the EU's green transformation and immigration policies over the past five years.
Two days later, Orban was involved in a car accident on his way back from watching a football match, resulting in the death of one police officer and injury of another in his convoy.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
This accident has sparked widespread attention and speculation, as security measures during a head of state's visit are typically stringent.
Some views suggest that this accident could be a political message, both as a warning to Orban and a signal to Germany.
Recent violent incidents targeting sober-minded politicians in European politics, such as the shooting of former Slovak Prime Minister Pellegrini and Orban's accident, raise concerns about whether Serbian President Vucic will be the next target.
On June 24th, the EU announced its 14th round of sanctions against 19 Chinese companies, accusing them of aiding Russia's military actions.
This sanction measure has strongly displeased China, urging the EU to lift sanctions and uphold the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
This issue not only concerns China-EU economic and trade relations, but also involves political mutual trust between the two sides.
Previously, the EU had announced additional tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, exacerbating trade frictions between China and the EU.
Statements made by Germany's Deputy Chancellor during his visit to China also reflect internal EU divisions on policies toward China.
The news of Ursula von der Leyen's reelection has drawn widespread attention.
As a leading candidate for President of the European Commission, her reelection could have a significant impact on China-EU relations, especially in economic and trade cooperation.
Although her party is the largest in the European Parliament, her reelection path is not smooth, with controversy within the EU.
Orban is one of the opponents calling for von der Leyen's removal, criticizing her ineffective leadership, green transformation failures, and immigration policies within the EU.
Orban's stance not only reflects EU internal divisions on policies toward China, but also reveals different positions among European countries in dealing with global issues.
Shortly after news of her reelection was announced, Orban's convoy encountered a serious traffic accident.
On the morning of June 24th, Orban was involved in a car accident on his way to the airport, resulting in the death of one police officer and injury of another.
This incident has attracted widespread attention and speculation.
Some believe this accident is not a simple coincidence, but has complex political factors behind it.
It is believed this accident may be a warning to Orban, making him understand that opposition to von der Leyen within the EU is unwelcome.
It may also serve as a warning to countries supporting von der Leyen, such as Germany, not to be too assertive.
There are various speculations about the suspicious aspects of this accident.
The security precautions during a head of state's visit should be very thorough, and this accident appears unusually suspicious.
Additionally, people point out that this accident is like "killing two birds with one stone", both teaching Orban a lesson and warning countries supporting von der Leyen.
Such speculations are not groundless, as similar political tactics are not uncommon in European political arenas.
Despite the widespread attention and speculation surrounding this accident, what deserves more attention is the complexity and variability of the European political landscape.
In the current era of globalization, national interests are intertwined, forming a complex network.
In this network, adjustments in policy by any country may affect other countries.
Therefore, when formulating policies, countries need to consider their own interests and the reactions of other countries to avoid unnecessary conflicts and frictions.
In the European political arena, there are few sober-minded politicians.
Orban, former Slovak Prime Minister Pellegrini, Serbian President Vucic, and others are among them.
They maintain a clear mind and firm stance when facing complex international situations, striving for the interests of their respective countries, while also facing immense pressure and challenges.
Incidents such as the shooting of Pellegrini and Orban's accident indicate the dangers and complexities of their political environments.
In the current international situation, both China and Europe need to handle their relations with each other more cautiously.
Both sides should find common interests through dialogue and consultation, promoting cooperation and mutual benefit.
Only in this way can China-EU relations usher in a better future and make greater contributions to world peace and development.
