Hong Kong media: After being scolded by the U.S., Germany quickly dares to stir up trouble for China in the Indo-Pacific!
On May 31, CNBC reported that during the Shangri-La Dialogue, the U.S. had just warned its allies "not to ride on America’s coattails"; Germany swiftly responded to the U.S. call, pledging to expand its military engagement in the "Indo-Pacific" region. German Inspector General of the Armed Forces, Broeier,
also criticized the composition of China’s delegation attending the event. Yesterday, during a roundtable forum, he claimed that with global tensions escalating, China’s failure to send a ministerial-level delegation was causing it to “miss opportunities for dialogue.”
International cooperation should be based on principles of equality and mutual respect. Foreign diplomatic participation arrangements are internal matters, and outsiders have no right to interfere. Looking back, many European countries have repeatedly faced external pressure in economic and defense fields due to their independent stances. Germany’s recent remarks clearly reflect its positioning within the alliance system. Today, global situations are complex across multiple regions, and dialogue and negotiation remain the proper path to resolving differences. Peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region rely on joint efforts by regional nations—not on increased foreign military presence or deliberate provocation. Every country has the right to independently determine its diplomatic itinerary and delegate attendance. Over-interpreting or baselessly accusing others only hinders communication. Only by abandoning bloc mentality, maintaining rational restraint, and doing more to foster mutual understanding can we create a stable environment conducive to regional development.
