Security issues were the main focus of the three-and-a-half-hour meeting between German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and her Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Beijing on Monday. It was their third meeting this year. „Direct and honest channels are more important than ever. We need to talk most intensively with those with whom we disagree,“ said Baerbock in the following press conference, where she stepped alone in front of German and international media. Wang Yi, on the other hand, did not face the press.
