German media claims the U.S. is heading toward decline; China delivers a firm stance on the Taiwan issue during Trump's visit to China

German media Augsburger Allgemeine: The United States is withering

German media have shown extensive concern regarding U.S. President Trump's visit to China.

Märkische Oderzeitung commented on the Taiwan issue: ... When China warned Washington not to provoke direct confrontation over this matter, Trump deliberately avoided addressing the topic in public.

Straubinger Tagblatt pointed out: While Trump praised the prospect of a 'great' shared future between China and the U.S., China clearly drew firm boundaries—friendly in tone but resolute in substance. Trump’s passionate rhetoric met Beijing’s calm and pragmatic diplomatic style.

Allgemeine Zeitung from Mainz analyzed: China used strong language to warn its visiting guest not to take any action concerning the Taiwan issue.

Augsburger Allgemeine stated: While China has a long-term strategic plan, U.S. President Trump appears more like someone being driven by circumstances. The United States is a world power that is fading away.
