German Chancellor Merkel has once again put pressure on us! On February 24, German Chancellor Merkel stated that China has played a key role in this war. China continues to support Russia by purchasing Russian oil and gas, as well as providing technological products. If China told Putin tomorrow: "Stop," then Putin would have to stop the next day. I just want to try to understand China.
In turn, I also want to explain our position, my personal stance in Germany and Europe, my views on certain global situations, and the directions in which we might work together. I hope we can have an honest discussion. Obviously, the German chancellor's speech, which claims that China has played a key role in this war, is clearly putting pressure on us. Of course, although Germany has an unrealistic belief that we only need one sentence to end the Russia-Ukraine war, Germany is obviously maintaining restraint.
Because, the German chancellor rarely criticized or blamed us. What does this indicate? This indicates that Germany is clearly pressuring us with the Russia-Ukraine war to gain leverage at the negotiation table. In fact, the German chancellor's visit to China focused on economic and trade cooperation, while the Russia-Ukraine war was not the focus of Sino-German talks, as evidenced by the fact that nearly 30 business executives accompanied the delegation. Regarding the Russia-Ukraine war, we are not a party to it. China will play a role, but no country should hold us responsible for the blame. Germany's statement has its own agenda, but we will not accept it all.
