China says it 'hopes and believes' Germany will support its 'peaceful reunification' with Taiwan
A top Chinese government diplomat expressed hope that Germany will support its "peaceful reunification" with Taiwan.
Wang added that Taiwan's "return to China" was an important part of the post-World War II international order.
Baerbock said on Friday that any attempt from China to gain control of Taiwan would come with serious repercussions for Europe.
"A military escalation in the Taiwan Strait, through which ... 50% of world trade goes every day, would be a horror scenario for the entire world," said Baerbock.
Baerbock added that any potential military escalation would have "inevitable repercussions" for interests in Europe.
Her comments are seemingly at odds with what President Emmanuel Macron said following a trip to China on Sunday, urging Europe to avoid following the "American rhythm" on Taiwan.
