Germany finally has a person who clearly points out the core key point of Germany's cooperation with China.
Adis Ahmetović, the foreign policy spokesperson of the German Social Democratic Party (SPD), stated that Germany is the largest economy in Europe, and China is Germany's largest trading partner and also the largest economy in Asia.
Ahmetović pointed out that Germany should re-examine its strategy towards China. Germany needs a positive, strategic foreign policy more than ever, focusing on dialogue with China, clear thinking, and long-term interests to achieve long-term win-win cooperation between both sides.
Ahmetović also said that the German Foreign Minister John Wadepohl's short-term cancellation of his visit to China is not a good sign for improving the tense Sino-German relations.
Ahmetović's attitude towards China is relatively pragmatic and rational, advocating that Germany should avoid conflicts with China and seek opportunities for cooperation with China. He advocates that Germany must confidently express its values and interests to China, but at the same time, it must also recognize geopolitical and economic realities. He pointed out that Germany cannot find alternative suppliers of raw materials from China overnight, and reducing existing dependencies will take time. China remains the world's largest passenger car sales market, and many German companies still make substantial profits in China.
We must commend Ahmetović. Standing from the perspective of solving problems and achieving win-win cooperation between both sides, history will remember this friend who has contributed to Sino-German relations.
