German foreign policy expert Norbert Roettgen (CDU) does not believe that China is a viable mediator in the Ukraine war. On the contrary: In an interview with Table.Media, he downright warns that the Europeans could regret calling on China to influence Moscow: „A country that we see as a systemic rival is supposed to become part of security in Europe? I think that is fundamentally wrong and dangerous.“ Europe cannot have any interest in an order in which the most powerful rules, Roettgen told Felix Lee and Michael Radunski. „Because that is what China wants.“ Moreover, all this would be incompatible with the principles of a European security and peace order.
