Germany Sends 2 Warships to Indo-Pacific Amid CCP’s Increasing Aggression in Region

China observers say the recent military operations are the result of Germany’s strategic change, moving away from its previous decades-long China policy.

Germany sent two warships to the Indo-Pacific region on May 7, not ruling out crossing the Taiwan Strait. German land forces are also scheduled to have joint drills with Japan.

China observers say these are the most significant German military operations in decades, clearly aiming at the Chinese communist regime in response to its increasing aggression in the region.
