If EU is an independent power, China would have much closer tie with EU than with Russia.

It is always suprise! Why doesn't DW dare to invite Chinese experts to discuss, but always invites a lot of so-called experts from other countries to discuss China's affairs for years? For example, this time the name was from Austria. So what can we expect from the DW reports?
The facts? No, never.
Or selective European point of view as DW usual?
Or a simple DW nonsense warning as usual for years😂?
---Then who cares?

Dangerous balancing act for China, you asserted.
Dangerous for whom?
And why so??

[SSVindictive]

One has superior military, other has superior economic. Both are equal in a way.

Affairs between China and Germany. China can just discuss it with the United States. The United States is well aware of the internal dialogue among high-level German officials. Germany just repeated what the United States said. China does not need to waste time in meetings and discussions with Germany.

[GeorgeNortey-kfye]

i would refer to germany as a junior partner to USA

[thegreatone]

Russia is beating NATO single handily. It’s definitely not a junior partner 😂

[xxgwzhb]

Germany is a servant of america😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[CK-joim]

The Senior Partner (US) that blows up Pipelines and economies of its Junior Partner, Europe. And the Junior Partner says nothing in fear. What a partnership.

[eliastextile]

Wrong. Joint partnership. Not Juniors.

No sanctions, no threats, no lectures, no condensending comments, no feelings of cultural superiority.

Just mutual understanding, respect, win win attitudes.

This is how diplomacy is done.

[falcatafalcata]

In terms of geographical location, if 🇩🇪 shares more than 4, 000 kilometres of border with Russia like China, how will 🇩🇪 choose to get along with Russia?
