Germany Vice Chancellor Habeck's visit to the Asia-Pacific region has caused many controversies, especially his words and deeds during his visit to Korea. His changes in itinerary and rhetoric have sparked speculation and comments from all sides, let's take a look at what intentions are hidden behind this.
Germany's Vice Chancellor Habeck's visit to the Asia-Pacific region has caused controversy
As a major European power, Germany has always played a pivotal role in Europe and Western countries, and Germany's words and deeds will affect the nerves of other countries. Therefore, when Germany Vice Chancellor Habeck visited the Asia-Pacific region, all parties paid special attention.
According to media reports, the original plan of the Germany Vice Chancellor's visit to the Asia-Pacific region was to visit Korea first, then Japan, and then to the eastern powers. But on the way to Korea, the German authorities abruptly cancelled the original trip to Japan and flew directly to Singapore after Korea.
This series of changes has triggered doubts and controversies about the true intentions and positions of Germany's policies, especially the dissatisfaction of all parties with the words and deeds of the Germany Vice Chancellor during his visit to the Asia-Pacific region.
Some media broke the news that during his visit to Korea, Habeck openly demanded that Korea must work with Germany to get rid of its dependence on the eastern powers, and stressed that the two countries have a common goal, that is, to expand the supply of raw materials and reduce dependence on the eastern powers.
Such a statement is undoubtedly drawing a red line for the eastern powers, and it is also seen as a hint of a conspiracy with Korea. Because according to Germany's original plan for a foreign visit, it should first visit Japan and then visit the eastern powers.
However, during his visit to Korea, he stressed the need to reduce dependence on the big countries in the East, which is really a bit confusing. In response to this behavior, the Korea media also paid great attention.
There are even comments that Germany is going to part ways with the big powers of the East? Has it been so much so dependent on the United States that it has completely neglected its relations with the great powers of the East?
But just when all parties were skeptical about the matter, Habeck suddenly changed his visit schedule on the Singapore side. He canceled everything he had scheduled and flew straight back to Germany.
As a result, the entire Asia-Pacific trip of the Germany Vice Chancellor is only a trip to Korea. The parties were also puzzled by this outcome, because according to Habeck's original plan, the trip to the Asia-Pacific region would take at least seven days.
But what does it mean to rush back after only 2 days? What exactly is Germany trying to say? These issues are of great concern to all parties.
Speculation about the true intentions of Germany's policy
In particular, Habeck's remarks urging Korea to wean itself off the eastern powers during his visit to Korea have raised questions and controversies about the true intentions of Germany's policy.
In response to these speculations and comments, the German authorities also responded immediately. They said that the reason why Habeck canceled his original trip to Japan and flew directly to Singapore and withdrew his trip to Singapore was because of the change in the German Bundestag and the need to urgently return to Germany to deal with related affairs.
However, this explanation apparently did not convince the parties, because according to the official information released by the German authorities, the German Bundestag had already announced the corresponding changes before Habeck's visit to the Asia-Pacific region.
If it really affects Habeck's plans for a foreign trip, it can be adjusted before then. Instead of waiting until the flight to Korea to cancel the trip to Japan at short notice.
Therefore, all parties do not agree with the explanation made by the Germany authorities, and more people think that this is just a disguise, the purpose is to hide people's eyes.
According to some people familiar with the matter, the biggest purpose of Habeck's visit is to draw a clear line between him and the big powers in the East. Through his words and actions, he hopes to send a clear signal to United States that Germany is trying to preserve the unity of the Western camp.
Although China and the United States have not yet officially entered a state of war, frictions and contradictions between them can be seen everywhere, and they may turn into a full-scale war at any time.
At this time, United States, as the most important ally, certainly hopes to receive as much support and help as possible. However, as a very important Central European country, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult and a test of willpower to maintain neutrality between the two major powers, China and the United States.
Especially as United States continues to intensify its containment of China, Germany, at the heart of the European continent, must make a choice. Habeck's visit was to send a signal that Germany would be on the side of the United States no matter what happened in the future.
South Korean media reported on this matter
However, such an approach has sparked dissatisfaction and criticism from all sides, including the Korean media. Some media outlets bluntly said in their comments, "Isn't Germany self-reliant?" Do you have to rely on US imperialism to survive? ”
Habeck's remarks urging Korea to get rid of its dependence on eastern powers have also aroused great attention in the Korean media. Various media have reported on this topic, and there have been many analysis and comments.
Speculation and comments from all sides
Some commentators believe that the biggest purpose of Habeck's trip is to draw a red line with the eastern powers, and hints that he is engaged in so-called "anti-China" activities with Korea. In this way, the great powers of the East will naturally feel great anger and resentment, creating a rift between China and Germany that will be difficult to bridge.
What's more, they directly said that the outbreak of conflict between China and Germany is just around the corner. Of course, these comments are not convincing and contain obvious exaggerations.
