China has urged Germany to abide by the one-China principle as German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul began a two-day visit to Beijing, his first since taking office, Chinese officials said Monday.
Chinese Vice President Han Zheng met Wadephul and said China and Germany are important economic and trading partners that can achieve “win-win results” through mutually beneficial cooperation, according to Xinhua News.
Han said Beijing is ready to enhance communication and dialogue with Berlin and work to bring the China-Germany all-round strategic partnership to a higher level.
He added that the Taiwan question is at the center of China's core interests, and urged Germany to abide by the one-China principle. Han also called on Berlin to play an active role in supporting the healthy development of China-EU relations.
