Against the background of tensions between China, the United States and India, Chinese President Xi Jinping held a video meeting earlier in Beijing with German Chancellor Merkel, European Council President Michel, and European Commission President Von der Lein. German Chancellor Merkel represented the European Union. Tell Chinese President Xi Jinping that the two sides should accelerate the China-EU investment agreement with a view to fair competition, and that the EU-China Forum is a good, honest, open and open exchange, and that the EU it is concerned about Hong Kong and proposed allowing independent observers to enter Xinjiang and other human rights issues, which quickly met with China’s resolve. Oppose and criticize the EU for “double standards”.
According to a report by Agence France-Presse, the EU believes that the measures taken by China in Xinjiang are inconsistent with so-called counterterrorism objectives, which is why it has repeatedly called for the dispatch of observers to Xinjiang and has been rejected. French Foreign Minister Le Drian also suggested that the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and former Chilean President Bachelet would go to Xinjiang for an independent investigation.
However, given the doubts of the EU countries about the problems of Hong Kong and China’s Xinjiang, Xi Jinping clarified that the essence of the problems of Hong Kong and Xinjiang is to safeguard China’s national sovereignty. China firmly opposes any person or force that creates instability, division, and turmoil in China, and strongly opposes any country’s interference in China’s internal affairs. “China does not accept the ‘master’ of human rights and opposes ‘double standards'”.
Subsequently, according to a comprehensive report by German media such as the German News Agency, China yesterday (14) signed an agreement on the mutual protection of food origin marks, which is a great success for the European Union. According to the agreement, Franconian wine, Munich beer, champagne, feta cheese, etc. will become 100 kinds of protected food in China, and imitation is prohibited. In turn, Chinese Pu’er and Moutai tea are also protected in the EU.
According to a report by the French Broadcasting Corporation, Merkel frankly admitted that although they have discussed difficult issues with China, including Hong Kong, Chinese minorities and human rights issues, the two sides have failed to reach consensus on issues of human rights. But Merkel expressed her satisfaction with the video conference, saying it was a good, honest and frank exchange and that it should continue.
