During the meeting, Xi Jinping noted that China and Germany are the second and third largest economies in the world, and bilateral relations not only affect the interests of both countries, but also have a significant impact on Europe and the world. He noted that the international situation is undergoing the most profound transformation since the end of World War II.
Xi also added that China supports Europe in its pursuit of greater autonomy and strength, and hopes that the European side can cooperate with China in this direction, adhere to the positioning of strategic partners, and maintain openness, inclusiveness and mutually beneficial cooperation to ensure greater growth in China-Europe relations and make greater contributions to world peace and development.
We would like to remind you that on February 20, Bloomberg reported that China is helping the aggressor country russia to fight against Ukraine by supplying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Moscow receives the drones not directly, but through Thailand, where shell companies are registered.
It was also claimed that Chinese oil refiners increased purchases of russian oil, which India refused to buy amid pressure from the United States.
At the same time, US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker said that China provides crucial support to russian aggression in Ukraine. According to him, Beijing could end the war with one call.
