The German Foreign Minister was ready to visit China, but before he left, he made some demands to China, which actually provoked China, and the promised itinerary was forced to be postponed. The German side complained that China was too disrespectful.

According to Reuters, on October 24 local time, German Foreign Minister Wadpur said that his first visit to China had been postponed and the meeting originally scheduled for October 26 would not take place. The trip may have been cancelled, and the German Foreign Minister's first visit was "closed", saying that China was not giving face, but in the end, he said something wrong.

On the eve of the upcoming visit, Vadepur said the main goal of this visit to China was to talk with China about the issue of rare-earth exports and the conflict between semiconductors and Russia. Germany, as one of the manufacturing powers in Europe, is also an important pillar industry.

French car companies are now facing a shortage of rare earths and are likely to gradually stop production in the next two months. Germany's influence is not limited to rare earths. The Netherlands's seizure of AXA Semiconductor, a subsidiary of a China company, has a direct impact on Germany.

Anselm has front-end circuit production capacity in Germany, and its products are used in massive parts of automotive electronics. Its circuit factory in Hamburg is a major source of dissociated device production capacity in Europe, used in large quantities for automotive control units, each car may need hundreds of related devices.

Nexperia China has resumed supplies, but these Nexperia companies scattered in Europe can't get supplies from China. The assembly line production of German car companies did not have enough inventory support before this. If these key semiconductor components cannot be supplied in time, it will directly lead to production cuts and shutdowns.

Anshi's supply to Germany is very important. In addition to automobile companies, it is also important to some of its industries. At the same time, Germany has a large trade volume with China and is Germany's largest trading partner. Much of the profits of German car companies come from China, so they want to talk to China first and try to ease trade relations with China alone.

In addition, the German Foreign Minister himself has a relatively tough attitude towards China, often saying that China is supporting Russia in its fight against Ukraine. Therefore, when he meets with China, he will try to ask China to advance Russia-Ukraine negotiations and "ask China to exercise substantial influence."

Vadepur also pointed to China's behavior in the Indo-Pacific region, openly "criticism of China's attitude is tough", especially in the Taiwan Sea and the South China Sea, delusions "against the seizure of force", to maintain the status quo, etc. This is the provocation directly against China, the Taiwan Sea issue is China's internal affairs, no country should interfere.

The German Foreign Minister¡¯s attitude is not too cold to China for his visit. The German Foreign Minister wants to talk about too much with China this time, and his position is very clear. Even though he says he wants to communicate with the Chinese side, in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and ¡°de-risking¡± these matters, Germany is clearly still the Western world.

China's position towards the world is consistent and welcomes countries to exchange and consult with China, but if countries want to talk, they must show the sincerity of negotiation, rather than come to put a finger on China. Friction and contradictions between countries are normal, but should not be accused unilaterally.

Recently, the EU's position towards China is gradually tending to harden, on the one hand to talk with China, hoping to get China's rare-earth export license, on the other hand to threaten to take measures against China in other areas, Macron threatened to use counter coercion tools.

The EU and some of its member states are clearly trying to threaten China and force China to make concessions, but this not only fails to solve the problem, but will exacerbe the contradiction further.

However, the meeting was delayed or cancelled, and the two sides did not have too many statements. This was more of a friction in diplomatic communication, and is still within the scope of control. Germany also knows that now things can not be big, the Murts government expressed regret, and China also expressed willingness to continue to communicate. With China-US relations change, China is expected to have more contacts with European countries.
