China’s ambassador to Germany called for Europe to be more open to Chinese investment, urging deeper cooperation in areas such as electric cars and 5G technology after a series of clashes.
Berlin is in the process of reassessing its relationship with China, a country it dubs both a partner and a rival.
As part of that process, Germany’s interior ministry has proposed forcing telecoms operators to curb their use of equipment made by China’s Huawei (HWT.UL) and ZTE, a move Huawei has criticised as the “politicisation” of cyber security.
“We hope that Europe will show more openness and self-confidence on the issue of electromobility and Huawei’s [RIC:RIC:HWT.UL] 5G technology,” Wu Ken said at a reception in Berlin late on Thursday to mark the 74th anniversary of the founding of modern China.
“China is in any case prepared to deepen a cooperation with Europe and Germany in which all parties profit.”
Germany’s interior ministry proposed the retroactive changes to 5G networks after a review highlighted Germany’s reliance on Chinese suppliers.
Okay sure. Abolish the CCP, free all uyghurs, free Hong Kong, free Tibet, remove the great firewall, apologize for the great leap forward; not to the EU but to your own Population, apologize for the great cultural revolution deaths, Tianenmen square… do i have to go on?
Stop flying fighter jets over Taiwan, stop predatory lending in Africa, stop with the spy balloons, stop propping up NK, stop supporting Russia, stop selling the West melamine in their baby formula…
Tankies and Centrists are fuming right now.
Stay out of other countries affairs - China
