German Left-behind Chancellor Angela Merkel recently said that a complete decoupling from China is wrong, which will cause harm to Germany and Europe. She suggested that Germany and the EU continue to work with China.

In this regard, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said on the 18th that Chancellor Merkel attaches great importance to the development of relations with China, and has visited China 12 times during his tenure to promote pragmatic cooperation and friendly exchanges between the two countries in various fields, bringing tangible benefits to the two countries and the two peoples.

Zhao Lijian also said that China has always believed that in the era of globalization, mutual respect, equal treatment, exchanges and mutual learning, and win-win cooperation are the mainstream of international relations.
