China seeks Germany's support for peaceful reunification with Taiwan amidst rising tensions.

China's top diplomat, Wang Yi, expressed hope that Germany will support its "peaceful reunification" with Taiwan during a meeting with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock in China. Baerbock warned that any attempt by China to take control of Taiwan would have serious repercussions for Europe. However, her comments are seemingly at odds with what French President Emmanuel Macron said, urging Europe to avoid following the "American rhythm" on Taiwan. Taiwan's Foreign Ministry strongly approved of Baerbock's statement.
