German Chancellor Merkel, who is currently visiting Beijing, wrote in Chinese today: "We want to strengthen the economic and trade relations between Germany and China. As two of the world's three largest economies, bilateral economic and trade cooperation between Germany and China can unleash great potential and promote economic prosperity. If such vitality is stimulated through balanced and reliable cooperation, both countries will benefit greatly."
Comments: Merkel specifically chose to speak in Chinese, expressing a very straightforward attitude: economic and trade relations are the stabilizer of Sino-German relations, and they must now be stabilized and strengthened. He is well aware that Germany cannot do without the Chinese market and supply chain. No empty gestures, no confrontation — just economic mutual benefit — this is the most sober and realistic choice for Europe at present.
