It is a seduction operation, while China intends to play a role of mediator in the war in Ukraine. Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang will visit Germany, France and Norway this week.
Even if no details were given on the subjects that will be discussed during this trip, we know that Qin Gang will meet with his German, French and Norwegian counterparts, respectively Annalena Baerbock, Catherine Colonna and Anniken Huitfeldt.
Controversial statements
The visit of the Chinese minister also comes after controversial statements at the end of April from the Chinese ambassador to France. The countries of the former USSR “do not have effective status in international law because there is no international agreement to concretize their status as sovereign countries”, declared Lu Shaye, questioned at the television on the Ukrainian province of Crimea annexed since 2014 by Moscow. These remarks had provoked an outcry in the States concerned.
Paris had then called on the Chinese ambassador “to make use of his public speech which is in conformity with the official positions of his country”.
