TREE NEWS update: Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Beijing advocates open cooperation and is committed to keeping global industrial and supply chains stable and secure, responding to German Chancellor Merz’s China-related remarks at a regular press briefing. Guo said China-Germany and China-EU economies are complementary and their industries interlinked, with pragmatic cooperation delivering mutual benefit. He urged Germany and the EU to remain objective and rational, move toward China, resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, and act as reliable, predictable partners.
China Urges Germany, EU to Stay Objective on Trade Cooperation
AI take
The language here is calibrated to keep trade channels open rather than escalate, with Beijing framing economic complementarity as the anchor for the relationship. The appeal is aimed less at Berlin alone than at the broader EU debate over how to position itself between market access and risk management. Whether that framing gains traction in Brussels and Berlin, or whether domestic political pressure in Germany hardens the tone, is the open question worth watching.
