German foreign minister criticizes Chinese aggression towards Taiwan | DW News

During her visit to the United States, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock called for strengthening the transatlantic alliance in the face of the threat posed by Russia.

The United States and its allies must now build a "partnership in leadership" to defend their security, the democratic social system and the rules-based world order, Baerbock said. To this end, Germany and the Europeans would have to say goodbye to cherished certainties and realign their security policy.

Germany can have this low caliber person to handle diplomacy is the greatest insult to German intelligence.

She should be more worried about the German Population going through the Winter of 2022 than Germany caring more about the concerns of the USA.

The West's reliance on the cheap labor of the PRC for manufacturing has enriched corporations greatly but left the rest of us with a very expensive hangover.

These European don't think anymore. The reunification of Germany was OK, but the reunification of China is now a problem 🙄

[gabemccall]

As an American I’m so happy to see Germany and the U.S. stand together! God bless Germany and God bless the USA. 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 🇹🇼

The USA told Germany to bark a little bit. That's the whole story.

[xiaogangdasha]

This is more sad for German than China. An independent country shouldnt have such action.

[fronabulax]

She should better be careful, germany is completely dependend on russia and china.

Many people in these comments seem to believe history froze in 1945 (or even before) and suddenly woke up earlier this year. Who are we to forget our history?

Germany should criticise itself for continuing to fund the war in Ukraine

‘Change through trade’ is just a more targeted version of the still widely held belief that capitalism will naturally lead to liberal democracy. The global community made this assumption with China, and they used foreign investment to demonstrate authoritarian capitalism. Many Americans would still unconsciously declare that liberty is a necessary condition for democracy. Yet there is nothing precluding agrarian, tribal, or command economies from engaging in collective decision-making. This is all relevant to Germany and America because populism is at present giving up its democratic credentials and becoming fascism in America, as it once did in Germany. We can never assume that one pillar cannot exist without the others, it can.

Germany and USA Both coming out for Taiwan. <3.

It’s so nice to see the west unified on a values basis, rather than just squabbling about economics. We have so much in common and it’s nice to see everyone standing up for eachother. When it’s needed most. Thank you zelenzsky for asking for ammo rather than a ride. That pebble has kicked of a renewal of western values based diplomacy around the world. And I’m loving it.

If ”we share American concern”, Germany should stop importing gas from Russian completely long time ago

[lgflanang]

CCP is the ultimate example of being a Karen.

[tuckq]

“We share America concern”

Rely trade on China the most.
Rely gas from Russia the most.

Sure

[worldwide]

What do you expect from America’s lapdog

[Ovajug]

Apparently Germany has become the 51st State of the USA 😁😁😁

[slowmorbius]

As a Russian, I don't understand what's going on at all. Everything went crazy in 2022, as if there were no other problems... it's not enough that our tsar has gone crazy. But China must behave like a responsible nation. It's crazy what's going on. Is it really impossible to find a peaceful solution to all problems? I hope that one day we will be able to live in a world without walls

[ThisHandleWasTheOnlyAvailable]

Germany doesn't have a sovereign foreign policy, independent of the US. When America says "Jump!", Germany says, "How high, master?"
