Last night, Deutsche Welle published: "German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who has frequently criticized China publicly recently, was originally scheduled to visit China this Sunday, but now the trip has been canceled. The German Foreign Ministry spokesperson said yesterday that the visit will be postponed. It is reported that the reason for Germany canceling the visit is that China did not confirm the corresponding arrangements in the planned schedule."
[Witty] The German Foreign Minister is very unconventional, which has left a deep impression on Chinese netizens. All previous foreign ministers have been like this. The cancellation of Baerbock's visit to China, the reason given by Germany that China did not confirm its planned arrangements, is just an attempt to cover up the truth. Baerbock has repeatedly and openly criticized China, and commented on the Taiwan Strait issue, touching the bottom line of China's core interests. How could China compromise on principles? On one hand, Germany wants to seek cooperation in trade and economic relations to ease supply chain pressures; on the other hand, it takes a tough stance on China, trying to play the balance between principles and interests again, which is simply a dream. If Germany does not correct its attitude and clearly reiterate the One-China principle, the cancellation of the visit is just the beginning, and the Sino-German relationship may face greater challenges!
