Germany's Annalena Baerbock is the latest top European politician to visit China after landing in Tianjin. She backed Emmanuel Macron's controversial comments on the EU and China.
The German foreign minister said that on Wednesday, responding to the criticism, Macron had "once again emphasized that France's China policies reflected EU China policies one-to-one."
She said the strengths of the EU lay in the fact that "we are not only close to each other, but pursue joint strategic approaches on the central issues of our interests and values."
Baerbock also warned against conflict in the Taiwan Strait, and the impact it would have on Germany and the EU.
"A military escalation in the Taiwan Strait ... would be a worst-case scenario globally and affect us as one of the biggest industrial nations in particular," she said.
