Davos Scene: Merkel Praises China

This evening, German Chancellor Merkel delivered a speech at the Swiss Davos Forum, voicing the thoughts that Europeans have in their hearts. Merkel said, "Every European should be alert, the international order after World War II is disintegrating at an astonishing speed, it is bringing the world back to a dangerous situation where survival of the fittest rules, and the world has entered an era of great power politics. The international order based on international law in the past few decades was not perfect, and today, its foundation is beginning to waver. America's global leading position is being challenged, while China, with its strategic vision, has already become a major world power. Europe must uphold these three pillars, invest heavily in Europe's self-defense capabilities, rapidly enhance economic competitiveness, and further unite among European countries to deal with risks."
