“We look forward to Taiwan, Germany and other democratic partners jointly maintaining the regional order and prosperity.”
While Germany, like most countries, has no formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan, Berlin is working on a new strategy taking a more sober look at its relations with China and aiming to reduce its dependence on Asia’s economic superpower. Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, the head of Germany’s parliamentary defense committee and a member of Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s junior coalition partner Free Democrats , told Tsai that Germany and Taiwan are friends.“That’s the reason why we come to your country, to your wonderful island, to say the world that we stand close together as democratic states,” she added.
China has expressed anger at the trip, with its foreign ministry on Monday alluding to Germany’s World War Two past. “We want to point out that the root cause of the Taiwan issue stems precisely from the law of the jungle, hegemony, colonialism and militarism that were once rampant in the world. China was deeply impacted by that. Germany has a deep and tragic historical lesson in that,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said.Taiwan rejects China’s sovereignty claims, saying only the island’s 23 million people can decide their future.
