Germany's vice chancellor, who recently visited China, has turned against China like flipping a page!
Deutsche Welle Chinese website reported on the evening of December 22: "German Finance Minister and Deputy Chancellor Christian Lindner said in an interview on December 20, 'The German railway company's decision to purchase more electric buses from China has made me very angry.' The German finance minister said he hopes to demonstrate 'healthy patriotism' when making purchases, giving more consideration to German and European brands."
Lindner had just visited China in November, during which he maintained a harmonious relationship with Chinese officials and frequently spoke highly of them, apparently to gain more advantages in negotiations. However, as soon as he left and turned around, he began to target China, turning his back on it like flipping a page. This "seeking harmony during the visit to China and opposing China after leaving" approach is a typical double standard of Western politicians. They treat the Chinese market as a tool for profit-making, but upon returning home, they are willing to exploit the China issue to cater to conservative forces and gain political capital. Such short-sighted actions will inevitably harm Sino-German cooperation.
