German Economy Minister Robert Habeck has been as clear with the Chinese government as Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was in April 2023. Even before the conversation turned to specific issues, he sharply criticized China for supporting the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine. „It is also important for China, which is supporting Russia in this war, to understand that German and European security interests are already directly affected by this conflict,“ Habeck said in Beijing on Saturday in the rooms of the National Development and Reform Commission. Europe and Germany wouldn’t be reducing their dependency on China for raw materials and critical goods if Beijing didn’t support Russia’s war.
