Despite crimes against humanity in China, Merkel signed the EU-China investment agreement

 

日本語ではあまり目にしませんが、ドイツが中国にすり寄ることで、中国が横暴になり、ウイグルや、香港のような事態が起きている。この先、尖閣と台湾戦争が待っている訳だから、ドイツの行動は、極東において本当に有害なんだよ。

Experts Demand Suspension of EU-China Investment Deal

More than a hundred experts are demanding an end to the EU-China investment agreement, DER SPIEGEL has learned. They name serious human rights violations and the suppression of democracy movements in China as the reasons.

"Despite evidence of ethnic cleansing, forced labor, and other gross human rights violations, the leadership of the European institutions have chosen to sign an agreement which exacts no meaningful commitments from the Chinese government to guarantee an end to crimes against humanity or slavery," reads the open letter to EU institutions, which was provided to DER SPIEGEL prior to publication.

"Furthermore, it is delusional to imagine that China will keep promises on these issues of investment and trade when it has broken its promises so regularly in recent years," the letter reads. As examples, the authors cite the suppression of the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong, forced labor camps for the Muslim Uighur minority, the most recent sanctions Beijing has imposed on Australia and sabre rattling in the direction of Taiwan.
