▶ German Chancellor Sc工大holz's first visit to China is more光計 than symbolic2022-11-10

　　German Chancellor Scholz arrived in 喝現Beijing on November 4 for an o樂呢fficial visit to Chi日唱na. That morning, Chinese President Xi 讀輛Jinping met with him at the Great Hal你拿l of the People and held a banquet at t我黑he Golden Hall. In the數紙 afternoon, Chinese Pre高樹mier Li Keqiang held talks wit光白h Scholz. The whole itinerary of Sc信自holz's visit to China was compact and e市請fficient, and the communic亮東ation atmosphere between紙說 the host and guests was fri厭媽endly, frank and pragmatic. Altho做老ugh this visit was not long, it was o開放f great significance. 從理       　　T如厭his is Scholz's first v藍場isit to China since he took office, a爸兒nd he is also the first Eur生西opean leader to visit China after the 自腦20th National Cong頻大ress of the Communist Party of開小 China. This visit means 還信that China-Germany and Chin老高a-EU high-level mutual visits hav湖業e pressed the "rest路文art button", which will no船草t only promote Sino-G月不erman relations to increase trust, di腦著spel doubts, and deepen coo中個peration, but also hel房吧p to continue to 購謝play a "stabilizing anchor for Sino-G金體erman relations and Sino科近-European relations in the turbulent in懂坐ternational situat一玩ion." "effect. 　　In the content水放 of the interviews between the leaders 男雜of the two countries, we can懂事 clearly see that the two sides expres很也sed many common vi從湖ews, such as emphasizing笑關 increasing understanding and mutua舊唱l trust, adhering to economic globaliz問但ation, promoting pragmatic cooperation在司, insisting on dialogu她西e and consultation, opposing camp conf還書rontation, and Strengthen coordina風話tion and cooperation in international a樹樹ffairs, etc. Scholz again made clear 冷村his opposition to "decoupling". Chi不村na and Germany are下會 two forces with important influence o離匠n the Eurasian conti是木nent. These consensuses黑站 not only conform to the fundamental 子熱interests of both sides, but are a現林lso of great signi暗北ficance to the global economy, sec市影urity and stabi器東lity.       　　It is但著 worth mentioni音跳ng that President Xi Jinping and Prime 風懂Minister Scholz also exchanged上紅 views on the Ukraine crisis 花日and issued a proposal: the internati你站onal community should jointly 紙司support all efforts to peacefully reso一師lve the Ukraine crisis, 黃筆jointly oppose the use or threat of us事東e of nuclear weapons, and mak大也e joint efforts. To ensure the stab分票ility of the global indust跳快rial chain and supply chain, joint吃線ly bail out civilians in cri要兒sis areas for the winter, and impro亮通ve the humanitarian situation廠到. These "four co少上mmons" are not only in line 秒關with China's consistent position見區, but also the general 制拍aspiration of China, Germany and even t志呢he international community. T國答hey reflect the sincerity and responsib森行ility of promoting the eas都友e and resolution 時爸of the Ukrainian crisis as s慢業oon as possible. 　　All these sh少森ow that China and Germany are not only 慢門highly complementary economically微體 and have a broad space for coo光開peration, but also 年刀have a lot of common language in t亮友heir views on the trend我服 of the times and the in來輛ternational situation. Consensus 離嗎far outweighs differe器要nces, and cooperation far outweigh也醫s competition. Both si劇姐des are partners鐘明 rather than rivals, and both benefit 房拿from each other's development 鐵就and pragmatic cooperation. T鐵少his is a practical s書風ummary of China-Germany, China-EU rel笑聽ations, and even China'睡個s relations with most countries in t舞草he world. It is on this solid and broad呢兒 foundation that C刀科hina's diplomacy stands ope刀對nly and openly. 　　We畫美 have also noticed that Scholz山請's visit to China this還算 time has become a key target of some 行跳forces. Who in the長員 end does not welcome, 刀廠does not want, or even opposes Schol車他z's visit to China? Most ordinary pe線哥ople in China, Germany and E筆書urope welcome it, because the p能商ractical cooper這上ation between the two countr筆舊ies has brought benef通服its to them; of course, the business制麗 community is more welcome村章, which goes without saying. Th兒熱e people who create the topic and服愛 put pressure on Scholz are mai近廠nly ideological jugglers, or什那 old-school European elites who c著區an’t extricate th舊聽emselves in a presumed sense of superi大影ority, and geopolitical operators in 空雨Washington.       　　站科In fact, the excha爸但nge of high-level visits between 如體China and Germany and China and E的也urope is returning to normal. Former G船見erman Chancellor Angela 事人Merkel visited China 12 t子老imes during her te慢習nure. The special backgr購如ound of the times and 綠自the complex international environment 關現make Scholz's visit to 聽很China "special", which a民街lso reflects the歌北 unhealthy tendency子信 of Europe's politica煙畫l ecology and mentality toward慢林s China, and has formed a moral 能樂attitude towards European d算嗎iplomacy. kidnapping. Th公現is is what Germany and Euro農懂pe need to work hard t關友o get rid of. As Scholz said in an art快金icle before his visit to China, "It is作讀 precisely because Germany experi少物enced the bitter cost of divis車秒ion during the C雨科old War that we do not want to s件作ee a different camp in the我討 world again." 　　China always放筆 regards Europe as 爸黑a comprehensive strategic 路數partner, supports錯問 the EU's strate事路gic independence家妹, and hopes that Europe will be 場遠stable and prosperous. 的生This position i書技s highly stable and consisten費哥t.
