Before the first visit of Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) in Beijing, Chinese experts criticized the German discussion about dealing with China as well as Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. Some young politicians who have never been to China and harbored prejudices against China "played up quarrels with China, especially over values, in order to win supporters," the party newspaper Global Times quoted researcher Jiang Feng from Shanghai's University of China on Thursday as saying international studies.
The fact that German foreign policy is being disrupted by domestic policy is a problem for Germany - and Baerbock also "did not fulfill her duties as Federal Foreign Minister because she brought the country more trouble than advantages in foreign policy," the expert was indirectly quoted as saying. Baerbock has been criticized several times since she took office, the party newspaper said. Their "value-oriented" policy differs "from Germany's pragmatic path".
There are many different voices in the traffic light coalition, said He Zhigao from the Europa Institute of the Academy of Sciences, according to the Global Times. The Greens Baerbock and Economics Minister Robert Habeck wanted to lead German-Chinese economic relations "into a competition with a tougher stance against China". But voices calling for continued engagement with China "continue to have more support within the government," He Zhigao said, according to the newspaper.
Some "noise" that plays up concerns about Germany's dependence on China will have limited impact as long as the coalition "holds to a pragmatic stance," the Global Times wrote, citing the experts. The English-language newspaper is published by the communist party organ "People's Daily" and serves as an international mouthpiece.
