Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Germany’s new Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul pledged to strengthen cooperation against unilateralism and trade barriers during a high-stakes phone call Monday. The dialogue comes as global tensions over protectionist policies and supply chain disruptions continue to rise. 🚨
Wang emphasized that China-Germany relations are 'more than bilateral'—they’re a cornerstone for global economic stability. He urged Berlin to reject 'de-risking' strategies that could harm collaboration, while Wadephul affirmed Germany’s commitment to proactive engagement with Beijing. 💼
On the hot-button Taiwan question, Wang reiterated China’s stance, expressing confidence Germany would uphold the one-China principle. The call also addressed the EU’s anti-subsidy probe into Chinese EVs, with both sides pushing for 'fair solutions' ahead of the 50th anniversary of China-EU diplomatic ties. ⚡️🔋
Amid the Ukraine crisis, Wang reaffirmed China’s role as a peace mediator, advocating for 'direct dialogue' to end the conflict. Wadephul welcomed Beijing’s influence in brokering a ceasefire. 🕊️
