'From the perspective of those who care about strengthening democratic partnerships against China's aggressive excesses, the only ray of light in Germany is Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.' -TomRtweets
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz attempted this week to spin his China policy as something other than the strategic prostration policy that it is. Which is to say, a replicant of the policy French President Emmanuel Macron adopts toward Beijing. As I noted on Wednesday, however, Scholz remains ensconced in the European Union's China appeasement bloc.
First off, the announcement that Berlin has given final approval to the Chinese corporation, Cosco, to buy a significant minority stake in Germany's Hamburg port facility. Cosco's purchase was opposed by German security services over fears that Beijing would use its control over Cosco to introduce spyware into the port or leverage its ownership to extract political concessions from the German government.
Next up, we have Politico's reporting on talks in Berlin between Scholz and Chinese Premier Li Qiang scheduled for June. The"German-Chinese high-level talks would come about a week ahead of a key EU leaders' summit on June 29-30." And that EU summit will have a significant focus on the political union's policy toward China.
