German minister praises 'esteemed' Taiwan, China protests 'vile' visitGermany's education minister said on Tuesday she was honoured to visit 'esteemed partner' Taiwan but that her trip was not connected to her government's China strategy, as Beijing said it had protested to Berlin about her 'vile conduct' in going there. One day these warmongers will scream china military action against Taiwan is unprovoked 😂😂 Panicking West fearful of the Cino-Russian partnership. The Global South is emerging and making countries like Germany irrelevant. Saudis are talking to Iranians, Syrians and the dollar is being abandoned en masse. The future is brighter for the world. Germany bitch fell in love with TW fogs, totally understandable, after all bestiality is a German tradition.🤣
