It strikes here, the fuses must of energy, terrorism, and pakistan. Iran con, survives a shooting at a protest. Ready. But gunman alleged me confesses to attempting to assassinate the former Prime Minister. Ah hello christine when to welcome to the program. Its good to have your company. Germanys chancellor, all of schultz press china on its support for russia in ukraine during talks in beijing on friday with chinese leadership in pain and premier league chang. Sholtes also addressed controversy of the economic and human rights issues. He is traveling with a business delegation and has spaced haws to reduce germanys over dependence on its the biggest trading partner our allies like france, ambiguous. All critical was off the visit to. Now while shows was outspoken on russia, league chang didnt even mention chinas ally by name. Both leaders raised the issue of grain exports being affected by the war, and he has what they had to say. China and germany bearer responsibility for the entire world, a world currently fraught with so many problems with grain supply and energy. China is a big country, both with 1400000000 and how we want to also supply many other countries with chinese grain. We very much hope that the world green market stabilizes, and we hope that the International Energy supply market also becomes more stable. Because if not, it will be very for women damaging for the economies, but not just of our countries, but of the world. China is an important country as a member of the Security Council of the u. N. China also has responsibility for peace in the world. I have said to present to you that its important that china exert influence on russia. It is about the principles of the un charter that we have all agreed on and asserting these principles like serenity and territorial integrity of every country. These are important issues for china as well. And for more in this, were gonna bring in detail is chief international edison, Richard Walker, he is in beijing, part of that press delegation, accompany all of shows on his trip to china. Richard. So as we have just heard, leon schultz focusing very differently on the war in ukraine while the german chancellor is referring to russia. The chinese premier doesnt mention russia at all. What do you make of that . What i think christina would be unrealistic to expect. Leeker chang, or to really go much further than what he said. And of course, weve seen earlier this year, china and russia embarking on what she does, pink Vladimir Putin caught called a no limits relationship. She, jim pink, chinas paramount leader. Having tied his face very closely to Vladimir Putin so i dont know you could really expect leeker chang. Number 22. 00, she jumping and a man who will be out next spring. As part of the latest leadership shake up here. You wouldnt really expect him to, to sort of throw russia under the bus in a, in a press it situation like that. But one thing that he did say, which i think will maybe cause a little bit of satisfaction on the german side, is that he, he said, i think the formulation was where we cant afford to see any more escalation in ukraine. And i think that will be taken by the many observers, i think, to be at least an oblique reference to the threats of Nuclear Escalation that have been coming out of russia. So i think there may be at least some mild satisfaction with that. But in terms of all our shots, i mean, he was very clear and perhaps clearer than some would have expected him to be, that he expected russia to use its influence. That he and so he expected china to use its influence over russia in dealing a with this war. And really, very clearly, as we just heard, theyre saying that as a great country is a large country as a member of a permanent member of the un Security Council, the child has the responsibility to do so. Richard, were looking at pictures that were paying packages of that press conference as youre speaking, and i wonder what else stood out from that encounter between all of sholtes angelica j yet . Well, i think overall, schultz was probably more outspoken a bit more critical in the kind of edge of his comments or than many of the critics of this trip might have expected a going into this trip. So you remember theres, theres a huge chorus of criticism for all of shots coming to beijing, appearing to rush to beijing very soon after this latest communist Party Congress here in beijing, which crown she, jim ping for a 3rd term in office. You know, something that many people see pointing to him, kind of creating a dictatorial role for himself rather than the sort of that the collective communist government that has been the norm here for the last few decades. The fact that he brought a business delegation being taken as a sign that you know, this is a return to the ssl corporatist approach towards china. That that was the hallmark of of angle a miracle. And sholtes, i think it was under some pressure and then did deliver some fairly clear messages on a range of issues. Weve already talked about russia, ukraine. He also talked about shin jang, for instance, denying that talking out or speaking out about the civil rights to the Human Rights Violations going on in chin. Jang is some sort of interference with a chinese intern, internal affairs, which is usually beijings line or rebuffing. Those criticisms are also talking about i want the increased concerns that have been raised recently that china could go ahead with a potential invasion saying that germanys one part china policy is all about piece across the taiwan strait. And that the status quo cannot be changed or without peace and consent or consensual movements on both sides by that state ebony as chief international essay, Richard Walker in beijing for us.
