Germany’s Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbock, has said that China’s communist regime is continuing to act more aggressively internationally while increasing domestic oppression. Elements of her visit to China this week were “more than shocking,” Baerbock said during parliamentary questions in Berlin on April 19.
Baerbock’s visit to China came just days before her meeting with other foreign ministers of the G7 nations in the Japanese city of Hiroshima. A communique from the ministers affirmed “the importance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait” for the security of the international community.

When meeting with Baerbock in Beijing on April 15, the Chinese communist regime’s top foreign affairs official, Wang Yi, asked Germany to support the reunification of mainland China and Taiwan—as the official claimed that the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had previously supported the “unification of East Germany and West Germany.”
