German Foreign Minister Waldfur announced that he would visit China in a high profile, but he announced the postponement before the trip. The reason is also very interesting, that is, there are no important activities on the schedule of visiting China. In fact, except the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, no other important department will meet and talk with him.

It's a bit like jumping to a long-awaited dining party, and when it comes to the door, it turns out that his name is not on the guest list.

This is not an ordinary "diplomatic skirmish", but a carefully choreographed "strategic teaching class" specifically taught to those who want to eat and flip the table at the same time.

This line in Taiwan is not a play, it is a high-pressure line.

The Germans probably consider the "one China" policy to be a Lego tree - the basic framework retained, but always wanted to covet a few pieces of their own small pieces into it, such as the classic phrase "do not change the status quo by violence".

This time, the Chinese side simply cancelled the itinerary directly, which was tantamount to shouting in Berlin's ear:

"The one-China principle is not a rubber stamp, but a load-bearing wall. Whoever wants to play word games here, we will tear down whose platform."

The old Western trick of "separating politics and economics" in the past-stepping on your red line on the political field and putting you braised pork on the economic table-is completely ineffective this time. German companies watched as key negotiations such as rare earths and chips slipped away before their eyes, and they suddenly realized that political credibility was the best hard currency.

Take the values as the arrows? first see if you have the arrows.

Before Wadfour came, he made a lot of remarks in the Western media, such as "German-Japan Goodwill" and "Eurasian Democratic Circle", and sets of old Cold War lines, as if he could get China to stand up and take over the ride.

And the result? Beijing turned off the lights in the reception room directly.

It¡¯s like someone knocking at the door with a ¡°Democracy Bible¡± and thinking it could be used as a passport, but didn¡¯t think the owner returned with a cat¡¯s eye:

"Our store will not accept your values for the time being. Please exchange them for real money and come back again."

Thirty percent of German car sales rely on the Chinese market, enterprises invest in China a record year - this set of "value diplomacy" plays more and more, German car companies in the board of directors see more and more panic.

(3) If you want to "visit China forged gold", then be prepared to "go home with empty hands"

In the past, many western politicians played the same trick: coming to Beijing to take a group photo, and issuing a press release to create a "communication bridge"; When you return to China, you will scold China and earn enough political chips. This trick is called "take it all at both ends", and China has not endured it before.

But this time it's different. Not only has China lowered the standards of reception, but it has even spared joint press conferences. There has even been news that "no other department wants to see"-translated into quack:

"You want to come here to gain experience points? I'll turn you into a passerby first."

This is called "setting the agenda in reverse": don't you regard "visiting China" as political capital? Then I will devalue this capital. Who comes again in the future has to weigh it first: do you want to continue to play the "table scolding the cook" set, or do you want to serve the table honestly and sincerely?

(4) The turning point of the times is not for you to hit the wall

The German Foreign Minister hit the "south wall of the times" in his first actual combat with China. If Berlin continues to dance to Washington's tune, regarding its dependence on China as a "strategic stain" and the Taiwan issue as a "bargaining chip", then Germany will lose not only a few rare earth contracts, but VIP seats in the entire Chinese market.

This "cold reception" was not a diplomatic accident, but a precise "strategic acupuncture point"-the acupuncture point is called "Please learn to look up."

When you come back next time, remember to learn to be an equal person first, and then we will talk about cooperation.
