German Foreign Minister Bernhard has returned to Beijing.
I have seen German media exclaiming that this may be her last time coming to China, and she doesn’t seem to be the most popular person in China either.
Definitely not.
Why is that?
Believe me, there’s no need to say more. Just a few days ago, this former trampoline athlete was slandering China, claiming that China provided drones to Russia, and the consequences were very serious, requiring sanctions against China, and so on.
In April of this year, she also put forward the statement that Germany is no longer naive towards China.
When did Germany become naive about China?
But Bellberg felt that Germany used to be naive.
This time in China, Bell Burke is participating in the seventh round of China Germany Diplomatic and Security Strategic Dialogue on December 2nd.
I see that the Chinese side still treats each other with courtesy, and Wang Yi and she are hosting the dialogue.
Carefully reading the press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in front of this female foreign minister, Wang Yi had three words that felt very meaningful.
In the first sentence, Wang Yi said to Bell Burke: There are differences and disagreements between China and Germany, but differences should not be obstacles to cooperation, and disagreements should not be reasons for confrontation. The positive achievements and beneficial experiences in China Germany relations so far are worthy of both sides cherishing and inheriting.
This should be very targeted.
We also acknowledge that there are differences and disagreements between China and Germany, but this is not an obstacle to cooperation, let alone a reason for confrontation.
But what about the fact?
Under the manipulation of some politicians, the exemplary Sino German relationship has recently encountered some difficulties, which is particularly distressing.
So, Wang Yi reminded Bell Burke that we should cherish and inherit the positive achievements and beneficial experiences between us.
sincere words and earnest wishes!
I just don’t know if Bell Burke understood.

In the second sentence, Wang Yi told Bell Burke: The differences in systems between China and Germany, as well as between China and Europe, stem from their respective historical and cultural traditions, and are also choices made by the people… China Germany relations are not targeted at third parties, nor should they be influenced by third parties.
Especially the phrase ‘should not be influenced by third parties’ is particularly prominent.
Who is the third party?
No need to say much, America.
China and Germany are major powers, and Europe is an important force in the world’s multipolarity. Our cooperation is normal and necessary, and of course, it is not targeted at any third party.
It should not be influenced by third parties, and China will definitely not be affected.
But have you been affected by Germany, especially Belbock?
Bellberg certainly does not admit it, but the German political arena has its own interpretation.
In the past few years, the German Traffic Light Alliance has been in power, with Chancellor Scholz from the Social Democratic Party and Chancellor Berbourg from the Green Party. Many times, Scholz wants to go east, while Bellberg insists on going west, leaving the whole world stunned. Who really represents Germany?
Many times during his travels, Scholz traveled alone and did not want to bring Bell Burke with him. Because taking her along is adding chaos and trouble to oneself.
However, as the German Foreign Minister, Belberg is still in charge of diplomacy, and some of her words and actions have had a negative impact on Sino German relations.
I have seen some German lawmakers criticize that the female foreign minister is always playing with fire, and that the German government has established good relations with China after “50 years of effort,” while “you are trampling on everything they have built.
I don’t know if Bellberg can understand Wang Yi’s reminder.

In the third sentence, Wang Yi told Bellberg that competition should be fair, not a zero sum game… He hopes that the German and European sides will objectively and rationally view China’s development, adopt a proactive and pragmatic policy towards China, and resolve trade disputes through dialogue and negotiation.
The issue of high taxes on Chinese electric vehicles is naturally an important topic in this dialogue.
The Chinese side is very angry, Europe cannot say one thing and do another.
On the surface, it appears to be fair competition, but in reality, it is engaging in zero sum games and imposing high anti subsidy taxes on Chinese electric vehicles, which violates the principles of fair competition and free trade.
Germany is a major power in Europe and should play an active role.
On this issue, it must be acknowledged that no matter how Bell Burke views China, her position is always more positive than France’s.
She stated in front of Wang Yi that the German side supports the EU and China in continuing negotiations on the issue of electric vehicle subsidies, striving to find a mutually acceptable solution.
In fact, the improper practices of Germany and the European Union have caused concern among the German business community.
On the occasion of Bell Burke’s visit to China, I saw that a survey by the German Chinese Chamber of Commerce showed that 73% of the surveyed companies hope that the German government will pay more attention to China as a partner for cooperation.
China is Germany’s partner, not a competitor, let alone a life and death enemy.
Germany, don’t go astray.
I have seen that during this visit, Bell Burke also promised that there are broad areas of cooperation between Germany and China, and that Germany attaches great importance to its relationship with China and firmly adheres to the One China policy. In the face of a turbulent world, maintaining frank dialogue and strengthening strategic communication with China is of great significance, which is conducive to maintaining the correct development direction of bilateral relations and contributing to world peace and stability.
Oh, she also said that the German side appreciates China’s positive role in addressing climate change.
In this world, there is no major country that is more proactive than China. In fact, whether it is electric vehicles or photovoltaic products, they are made in China. But isn’t this also a significant contribution made by China to address climate change?
Especially when compared to the United States, which may withdraw from the Paris Agreement again, where can we find such a China?
Belberg, who comes from the Green Party, should have a better understanding.

But it has to be said that you can never wake up someone pretending to be asleep.
According to German media reports, Bell Burke later held a press conference in Beijing and made a bold statement, saying that China provided drones to Russia
The Chinese side has actually clarified this issue many times: China has always taken a cautious and responsible attitude in military exports, never provided lethal weapons to parties involved in conflicts, and has always strictly controlled military and dual-use drones in accordance with laws and regulations.
But Belbock seemed oblivious, without any evidence, yet he could continue to speculate and even slander.
I saw that the German media noticed a detail. Last time, the foreign ministers of China and Germany attended a press conference together during the visit of Belberg to China; This time, the Chinese side did not attend the press conference, and only Bell Burke talked to himself.
What’s even more interesting is that the German journalist’s final voiceover said: After finishing her visit, Bellberg went straight back to her home country to participate in the election campaign, and the result of the election is likely that she will step down
