As the EU and US distance themselves from China, Switzerland sticks to its free trade agreement with the Asian superpower. For the Swiss government, human rights abuses seem to be no obstacle to expanding economic relations, writes DW’s miodragsoric.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel says it was a big success that at the end of the German presidency of the Council of the European Union talks were finalized on an investment protection agreement with China. That was in late December, but misgivings about Merkel's policy toward China have since been growing.

seem to be no obstacle to expanding economic relations. An investment protection treaty between the two countries was signed as early as 2009. China's ambassador to Switzerland, Wang Shihting, recently rejected any such claims in an online press conference, praised the bilateral ties between the two nations and called the existence of"so-called concentration camps," in which Uighurs were subjected to forced labor, spiteful political speculation.Before the ambassador's public appearance, the Swiss government published a China strategy report.

National Council member Fabian Molina from the Social Democrats echoed his view. He told DW that China was increasingly pushing through its economic interests in an authoritarian way.So far, Switzerland has often tried to separate economic interests and human rights, according to Ralph Weber from the Institute for European Global Studies at the University of Basel.

miodragsoric The E.U.'s stated commitment to human rights is fraudulent. If the Union were serious about human rights, it would look to its own members, and to the world's foremost violator of human rights - the United States, the E.U's partner in white supremacy

miodragsoric The accusation against China is a lie of the western media, and you know it. Switzerland may not tear down your game, but they are not willing to pay for it. Because the only beneficiaries are the United States

miodragsoric Unbelievable. Switzerland implements a direct democracy that is rare in the world. The democratic rights of citizens are far greater than other democratic countries. At this time, if still insist on the role of the mediator, it would be too hypocritical.

miodragsoric All trade deals with ccp come with strings attached. This includes silent endorsement to ccp human right abuses. 🇨🇭 should think twice before the sign-off.
