Since Hong Kongs anti-government demonstrations began in June, the pro-democracy movement has been pleading for international support. And the recent confirmation of Chinas systematic internment of Muslim Uighurs in the countrys western Xinjiang province has strengthened international calls for action against Chinas human rights abuses.
Now, human rights advocates and some German politicians are calling for German Chancellor Angela Merkel to take a stronger stance on human rights issues in China. [ ]
However, during six months of unrest in Hong Kong, and the ongoing reports of minority oppression in Xinjiang, Chancellor Merkel has been careful not to explicitly support the pro-democracy movement, or condemn the internment camps. [ ]
After Merkels China trip in September, the chief of German industrial giant Siemens, Joe Kaeser, warned Germany against taking too critical a stance, and advocated being thoughtful and respectful toward China.
If jobs in Germany depend on how we deal with controversial topics, then we shouldnt add to indignation, but rather carefully consider all positions and actions, said Kaeser in an interview with German newspaper Die Welt.

I noticed it when I lived in Germany (1980 to 1984) It always puzzled me, but I can offer up some possible explanations. Maybe some are ignorant. Others may be willfully ignorant. Others may be gullible, and believe communist propaganda. Others may be just outright communists.
Western governments (including our own) stopped criticizing Red China decades ago; they see them now as a blueprint, not a threat. We’ve been complicit in their subjugation of the population since Nixon visited. They are a fake enemy; we built their economy, as well as the software to control their people; we educate their cadres in our universities, and let them steal our knowledge/designs/plans.
For the same reason Germany helped create INSTEX.
Six European countries join EU-Iran financial trading mechanism INSTEX
Finland, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.
Got any links showing the Hui getting it as badly as Christians do, at least?
Looks like the old Axis trying to get the band back together.
Because Germans are cynical posturing hypocrites who will do anything for money?
These are the people who gleefully do business with the Iranian Mullahs and who did business with the Castro brothers and who took Saddams blood money after all.

Xi Jinping is a stone killer. If he could get away with slaughtering every Muslim and Christian in the country, he would. Muslims are being put in camps instead of being killed because a mass liquidation would be the one way he could have Chinese goods banned from every Muslim country in the world. And mere concentration camps for Christians would trigger a trade embargo in the West.
Not the most credible sources, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt here.

I’m speaking in general here; the Manchester Grauniad and Slimes are more often than not sympathetic with the CPC, but sometimes they have reporters who put truth over ideology and manage to get published.

I wasn’t talking rhetorically. The Grauniad and Slimes work overtime trying to turn the First World into the Second World (IOW like Red China), so their sincerity and accuracy are suspect at the very least without independent verification.
