Wang Yi warns Germany.
According to the official website of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, on November 3, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who had previously canceled her visit to China, at her request. In the call, Wang Yi clearly stated that China had unconditionally supported the unification of Germany and hoped that Germany, which had experienced the pain of division, could fully understand and support China's efforts to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and oppose all "Taiwan independence" actions.
Previously, Baerbock canceled her trip at the last minute two days before the visit, citing the excuse that "China only arranged one formal meeting," which triggered criticism in Germany as an "diplomatic disaster," and also exposed her country's wavering policy toward China. In recent years, influenced by the Sino-US rivalry, Germany has followed the United States in containing and suppressing China, leading to a tense relationship between China and Germany. More regretfully, Germany has made serious misjudgments in its perception of China. Not only did it speak out on the Taiwan issue, claiming to "customize" the implementation of the one-China policy, but it also sent parliamentary delegations and high-ranking officials to visit Taiwan, seriously touching China's red line. As a comprehensive strategic partner, mutual respect and win-win cooperation are the successful experiences of the China-Germany relationship. If Germany continues to follow the United States on the Taiwan issue, it will ultimately harm its core interests.
