China's ambassador to Germany called for Europe to be more open to Chinese investment, urging deeper cooperation in areas such as electric cars and 5G technology after a series of clashes.

Berlin is in the process of reassessing its relationship with China, a country it dubs both a partner and a rival.

As part of that process, Germany's interior ministry has proposed forcing telecoms operators to curb their use of equipment made by China's Huawei (HWT.UL) and ZTE, a move Huawei has criticised as the "politicisation" of cyber security.

"We hope that Europe will show more openness and self-confidence on the issue of electromobility and Huawei's [RIC:RIC:HWT.UL] 5G technology," Wu Ken said at a reception in Berlin late on Thursday to mark the 74th anniversary of the founding of modern China.

"China is in any case prepared to deepen a cooperation with Europe and Germany in which all parties profit."

Germany's interior ministry proposed the retroactive changes to 5G networks after a review highlighted Germany's reliance on Chinese suppliers.

China’s ambassador to Germany called for Europe to be more open to Chinese investment

Like how foreigners are free to invest in China and get actual ownership stakes and legal protections? Oh, wait.

Like pretty much everything the CCP does, it's "rules for thee, but not for me".

My guess is that they are so used to controlling their people they probably think it should work for everything else.

Less China bashing requires less actions that require bashing.

China: “Hm. How can we get other countries to stop bashing us so much?”

[murders some Uighurs]

China: “I mean what is their problem?”

Okay sure. Abolish the CCP, free all uyghurs, free Hong Kong, free Tibet, remove the great firewall, apologize for the great leap forward; not to the EU but to your own Population, apologize for the great cultural revolution deaths, Tianenmen square... do i have to go on?

Stop flying fighter jets over Taiwan, stop predatory lending in Africa, stop with the spy balloons, stop propping up NK, stop supporting Russia, stop selling the West melamine in their baby formula…

And I want a free and open society. But that's never going to happen sooooooo.

I support more China bashing

[–] scarabic 7 points 1 year ago

It really makes me laugh how sensitive they are. They’ll kill people to keep a little satire from being heard. It’s ridiculous. Have they seen the withering condemnation and ridicule that the US government endures? Grow some backbone CCP.

I really love how the current german government is finally taking a stance against Chinas policies.

Wouldn’t it be great if China could do the same to their own people..? Something something stone throwing glass house.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


BERLIN, Sept 29 (Reuters) - China's ambassador to Germany called for Europe to be more open to Chinese investment, urging deeper cooperation in areas such as electric cars and 5G technology after a series of clashes.

Berlin is in the process of reassessing its relationship with China, a country it dubs both a partner and a rival.

As part of that process, Germany's interior ministry has proposed forcing telecoms operators to curb their use of equipment made by China's Huawei (HWT.UL) and ZTE, a move Huawei has criticised as the "politicisation" of cyber security.

"We hope that Europe will show more openness and self-confidence on the issue of electromobility and Huawei's [RIC:RIC:HWT.UL] 5G technology," Wu Ken said at a reception in Berlin late on Thursday to mark the 74th anniversary of the founding of modern China.

"China is in any case prepared to deepen a cooperation with Europe and Germany in which all parties profit."

"But this fear of change and competition should not lead us to stray from the path (of cooperation) or erect barriers."
