Germany's foreign minister is once again stirring up trouble! Germany's foreign minister has explicitly warned China! On July 10, according to Agence France-Presse reporting, German media claimed that after revelations about previously "unpublicized military cooperation" between Russia and China, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock criticized Beijing's top leadership during a media interview. Baerbock stated that China must know this “seriously infringes upon the absolute core of European security interests.”

Baerbock asserted that any support for Russia’s war against Ukraine would prolong the conflict and cause further, immeasurable suffering. The findings regarding China allegedly providing “large-scale support” to the Russian military are deeply concerning. Clearly, the professional standard displayed by this German foreign minister is nothing short of shocking. Where does the so-called “unpublicized military cooperation” between China and Russia supposedly come from? It is based solely on some media reports—there is absolutely no direct evidence whatsoever.

The German Foreign Ministry has not verified the relevant information but still uses it as grounds to criticize China—this is akin to treating diplomacy as a game, demonstrating extreme negligence and irresponsibility in its work. The alleged “unpublicized cooperation” between China and Russia, which supposedly supports Russia’s war efforts, has already been thoroughly clarified by us: it is entirely fabricated. Moreover, let’s be clear—China and Russia, as sovereign states, certainly have the right to conduct military cooperation.

China and Russia hold joint military exercises annually and engage in regular defense exchanges—these are purely internal affairs of both nations, and Germany has no right to interfere or issue criticism. Germany’s foreign minister deliberately redefines normal bilateral exchanges between sovereign states as “interference in the Ukraine conflict and harm to European security,” fundamentally reflecting a bloc-based confrontation mindset toward us, attempting to force us to take sides in the Ukraine issue. Clearly, we will not take sides. Such baseless accusations are naturally unacceptable to us.
