After several days of tossing and fighting, German Chancellor Scholz 's trip to China finally landed on the runway of Berlin Airport with his special plane to announce the end. Just as everyone was speculating how long it would take for Scholz to come out to face the questioning within German Social Democratic Party , when he made a self-statement about the gains and losses of his trip to China, Scholz caught everyone off guard.
He did not choose to let the bowl of hot porridge cool down before drinking, but instead struck the iron while it was hot. Within just a few hours after his special plane landed in Berlin, he announced the biggest gains of the trip to China with his colleagues.
What is the biggest gain of Scholz coming to China? When he returned to Berlin, he didn't even bother to add one. The most important news announced with his colleagues in the SPD was actually about nuclear weapon . To be more precise, is China allowing the use of nuclear weapons in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict?
In this regard, China gave Scholz a clear negative answer, which is exactly what Scholz hopes to hear the most. In his own words: "Just this reply, this trip to China is worthy of this trip."
Why does Scholz see so important in China's view on the use of nuclear weapons in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict? The answer is actually hidden in the geopolitical world. The ignited bomb in the conflict between Germany and Russia and Ukraine is really too close to it. At present, this local conventional hot war, which is not too intense, has already made the Germans very confused. If any of the two sides of the warring side cannot think about using nuclear weapons, the fish raised by the United States in the city of NATO must be roasted by hundreds of thousands of degrees of high temperature.
Although Russia has made promises over and over again and clearly stated that it will not use nuclear weapons against Ukraine, from the perspective of Germany and other countries, Russia's current commitments are no longer credible. Before late February this year, Russia had repeatedly denied the statement that the US government had repeatedly thrown, "Russia is about to launch an offensive against Ukraine", but in the end it was still an arrow on the string and had to fire it. With this alone, Germany cannot focus on the basket made with the integrity of the Russian side.
So what is the US saying? As Germany's senior ally and NATO leader for many years, what the United States said has always been of great reference value to Germany. Just before Scholz embarked on his journey to China, the US " New York Times " quoted two "high-level American officials" as saying that for the Russian military, whether to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine is no longer a question. What the senior Russian generals are talking about now is how to use them and when.
Given the high degree of division between the US and Russia on related issues, it is normal for the German government to be restless. Scholz could not go to Moscow at this time to ask for a promise from Putin in person, nor could he ask the United States to be two-way transparent to Germany. As for Britain and France, although they both have nuclear weapons legally and have mastered thermal nuclear weapons technology, Britain and France are not worth enough on the Russian-Ukrainian issue, and they are wearing pairs of pants with the United States, so there is no need for Scholz to bet on London and Paris.
Questions will cause anxiety, and confidence and peace of mind are the foundation of a country. Since the Germans cannot get enough information from the United States and Russia to solve their doubts, nor can they obtain enough guarantees from Britain and France, then going to Beijing to seek answers will naturally become Scholz's method that he has to adopt.
Perhaps in our Chinese people's view, "China clearly opposes the use of nuclear weapons in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict" is just an irrelevant sentence, but if it is replaced by the Germans' position, the meaning will be completely different. If we are a little more utilitarian, we don’t have to give a clear answer to the question raised by Scholz. We just need to be vague and act indifferent. Catching Germany in this way is enough to make Scholz scratch his heart and be forced to open up high chips in exchange.
But we didn't do this after all. Not only did we not catch Scholz, we also gave Airbus a large order worth tens of billions during his visit, so that Scholz could bring back to China with both face and inner selves. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Scholz was confident to call senior Social Democratic Party officials to report on their visit to China as soon as they got off the plane. If it weren't for the fact that he had tasted the sweetness in China, he might not have dared to say some words even if he returned to China.
However, then again, respect is mutual. China has given Scholz the answer he wants with an extremely responsible attitude. Next, it should be Germany's turn to respond. This time we entertain Scholz to visit China, we are kind and righteous. If the German government uses the so-called "human rights issue" foot binding to smoke the Chinese people's nose, it would be too undecent. There is no promise in the world that will never change. Scholz should not forget once he goes back to Berlin. The minefield of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is eventually closer to Germany.
