Deutsche Welle reported tonight (October 24): "German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, who has frequently publicly criticized China, was originally scheduled to visit China this Sunday, but has now canceled the trip. A spokesperson for the German Foreign Ministry said at a press conference on October 24, 'We will reschedule the trip for a later time.' It is reported that the reason for Germany canceling the visit is 'China has not confirmed any other meetings besides with Foreign Minister Wang Yi.'"
[Sarcastic] Comment: This German foreign minister is once again causing trouble! Previously, there was a foreign minister who made a fool of himself with a "360-degree turn," and now Wadephul is causing trouble before his visit to China. On one hand, he frequently publicly criticizes China, and on the other hand, he wants to visit China to gain benefits. The Chinese side arranged a meeting with Foreign Minister Wang Yi according to diplomatic conventions, which is reasonable and proper. However, Germany canceled the trip because it didn't get "extra meals," clearly using the visit as a leverage to blackmail. Wanting to profit from China's development while not being able to let go of its prejudice against China, how could there be such good fortune? If German politicians remain short-sighted and arrogant, they will only miss cooperation opportunities, worsen Sino-German relations, and ultimately harm their own interests.
