Since merkel's government stepped down and Germany ushered in a new government, the relationship between China and Germany has quietly changed.
Sino-German relations have quietly changed, and the German foreign minister has issued a threat to China
It is reported that in the past period of time, German Foreign Minister Berberk, who is a Party member of the German Green Party and insists on being pro-American, has repeatedly pointed the spearhead at China and made harsh remarks against China. Berbock's hostility to China has left former German Chancellor Angela Merkel's painstakingly managed Sino-German relations at odds.
According to the German media "Süddeutsche Zeitung", in recent days, Belberger blatantly made an inappropriate evaluation of the relationship between neutrality, Lithuania's violation of the one-China principle, and the violation of China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Belberk threatened: "Any economic coercion is unacceptable, and if China does not lift sanctions against Europe, the China-EU investment treaty will be a farce and will not be passed."
Threatening China with the China-EU Investment Pact? amusing
In recent years, under the turmoil of the United States and other Western forces, the China-EU investment treaty, which was originally very smooth, has been obstructed by pro-US forces in Europe. The China-EU Investment Pact was supposed to be a very favorable agreement for Europe, China and, especially Germany, but Europe's obstruction forced it to stall. While Europe has already used the China-EU Investment Agreement to threaten China and let China compromise but is ignored by China, German Foreign Minister Berberk still wants to threaten China with a compromise with Lithuania and even the whole of Europe through this agreement, which is really ridiculous.
It should be noted that, in fact, while Belbock was using the China-EU Investment Treaty to incite contradictions between China and Lithuania, different voices were emerging within Lithuania calling for admitting its mistakes to China and improving neutral relations. In other words, when the neutral relations turned around, German Foreign Minister Berberk's statement was undoubtedly fanning the flames, lest the world not be chaotic.
Lithuania changed its mind and spoke harshly to China
Ironically, after gaining the support of the German foreign minister, Lithuania suddenly changed its mind and refocused its finger on China.
The Global Times reported that recently, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Landz Bergis said harshly to China before visiting Australia and holding a meeting with the Australian defense minister and foreign minister that Lithuania would not change the name of the "Taiwan representative office" no matter what. In an interview with Australian media, Landsbergis declared that "Chinese coercion and trade sanctions" would become the primary topic of exchanges between Lithuania and Australia. Lithuania and Australia will exchange views on how to deal with the situation, what they have learned, how to become stronger from it, how to help each other, and so on.
Landzbergis stressed: "The Lithuanian government will stick to the agreements that have been reached, and in any case, Lithuania has no intention of changing the name of the Taiwan representative office."
