For better or worse, the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, published last week, sums up the new "Strategy on China" with one of the phrases that is called to impact in the future, "China has changed". The truth is that in addition to a summary, we could say that it is a full content of the 64-page document, as it is not easy to find new key ideas about it. Anyone who has known in the Anglosphere "reflections" about China, at least, will hardly find anything new. All topics.
If there was any intellectual possibility for sarcasm, we should say A. It is not a question of Mrs Baerbock’s ministry addressing the amendment to all the excesses that Hegel has made in her famous work on the philosophy of universal history over China. On the contrary, the same Eurocentrism at the time clarifies, better than anything, this time too, that China has been beautiful for us as long as it has not worked very hard and has not spoken words, but we have now been galled ... Wow!
However, sometimes the context is as interesting or even more significant as the text itself, and there is something like that in the ditxoso document. Because, along with the original German version, Baerboca has also offered the English version of the "green" (what would Petra Kelly say if he was raised?) ministries... But no, however, Chinese. How should it be understood? What doesn't matter if the Chinese can read? Can they read them in English or German? Or that with the results that can be given by automatic translators of the network there is no one who can trust the conceptual inventions as "de-risking" or "systemic rivalry" when they have to dance in the United States?
And as expected (and everything points to it being a single purpose), the document has been received warmly in the United States. And perhaps in China it is warmer than you would expect, always insisting that removal attempts will be domestic for Germany. For the finish, Borrell gets involved and you know what can happen.
The sarcasm of reality, however, has found its loophole: the beer festivals that are played every year in China and are widespread, this year have had the "friendship" of its extraordinary heat and that of Qingdao, the origin of all these festivals, has to be about to burst these days.
120 years ago, when it was the German colony, beer entered China ...
It is clear that things are changing, yes, but perhaps not as Baerbock says.
The old continent has planted a trade war to China, where the European electric car market is about to be a historic and ridiculous failure. It is the fault of the Chinese, that European electric cars are twice as expensive as their own. What hurts them is that people here,... [+]
Last Thursday, 27 June, the Politburo of the Communist Party of China presented two press releases, very similar but with their nuances and nuances, following the plenary session held each month by the Communist Party of China. Its content, however, was unusual: two former... [+]
