Germany’s Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel stunned China by urging Beijing to abide by a ‘One-Europe Policy’.
At a conference of European diplomats held in Paris on August 30, Gabriel warned colleagues that China is trying to “divide Europe” and that the continent must find a common strategy to counterbalance Beijing’s influence.
Gabriel stated that some European countries side with China on fundamental issues because they are afraid of alienating a partner on whom they increasingly rely. As an example Gabriel cited the failure of European states to unanimously condemn Beijing’s expansion in the South China Sea.
In July of last year the European Union (EU) released a statement regarding the South China Sea dispute that reflected divisions among the 28 member-states. While Britain, France and Germany insisted on pressuring China to abide by international law, governments of smaller countries such as Greece and Hungary, which seek to attract Chinese investment, prevented the European bloc from issuing a clear condemnation of China’s actions.
Gabriel also criticized China’s ‘Belt and Road’ initiative as a means to further not only the country’s economic and cultural interests, but also its geopolitical and military aims.

Germany demands China recognize the 4th Reich
Germanistan will soon be respected by no one, except fellow followers of the crazy one.
Good luck. Greece and Hungary are ignoring Berlin, so Germany barks at China?
used to be a time when it was thought wise not to let Germany ever get a powerful upper hand again...now there’s talk Germany is the defacto leader of Europe, and will use force to bring Poland and other countries that are non-receptive to an invading-moosearmy to heel
Yep, there is only one Europe. Thank God.
Germany....the source for the next world war...
