Germany’s Annalena Baerbock is the latest top European politician to visit China after landing in Tianjin. She backed Emmanuel Macron’s controversial comments on the EU and China.
Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock arrived in the Chinese port city of Tianjin on Thursday to begin her three-day tour of the country.
The diplomatic trip comes amid increased Chinese military maneuvers around Taiwan, which the German Foreign Ministry condemned on Wednesday, and in the wake of China’s renewed support for Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.
On Thursday, Baerbock is set to visit a school in Tianjin that teaches German as part of the German Foreign Office’s PASCH initiative. She will also visit a wind turbine factory owned by a German company.
