“Instead of taking responsibility for peace and security in the world as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China is opposing our core European interests with its economic and weapons aid to Russia,” German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock said in an emailed statement before departing Berlin airport on Sunday for her two-day visit to Beijing.
Vladimir “Putin’s brutal war of aggression against Ukraine is a direct threat to our peace. I will also speak in Beijing about the fact that we cannot simply ignore this in our relations with China.”
The European Union is proposing to sanction several Chinese firms that it claims helped Russian companies develop attack drones that were deployed against Ukraine. Baerbock will meet her Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Beijing to address this issue, her spokesman said. Germany’s top diplomat will also discuss the humanitarian situation in China, as well as EU tariffs against Chinese electric vehicles that were introduced in October.
Which goes to show how far Germany has fallen politically. The Left party split into an irrelevant part and a pro-Putin hard on immigration part (BSW). the Greens moved towards anti immigrant racism, lackluster climate protection and support for wanted war criminals. The SPD became the party of high finance tax robbers, anti immigrant racism and austerity. And i don’t want to get started on the right side of politics somewhere between fascists and borderline fascists.
That is false. The left in Western Germany cannot be a leftover from the SED. There was no SED in Western Germany. There is some personal continuity in former Eastern Germany, whose influence got less over time. By this logic the CDU, CSU, FDP and to some extent SPD could also be considered leftovers of the NSDAP.
I think the poster meant the party the Left.
There was no SED in Western Germany.
While technically no proper part of Western Germany, you still might want to check out this.

This is something that you can find in discussions on here.
Greens moved towards anti immigrant racism, lackluster climate protection and support for wanted war criminals.
No they didn’t. They are the once that pushed the most forward while still being reasonable and open for compromise. They are the biggest/strongest reason that there is a move towards climate protection and they criticized war criminals all the time.
The more bullshit i hear against Greens the stronger i know a vote for the greens is the right thing to do.
I mean … I really wish it were different but almost the entire Greens group in Bundestag voted in favor of the “Security Package” only a month ago, despite it introducing more social insecurity for migrants. Of course, the goal was saving the coalition — but they did so voting by in favor of a law that (pending court decisions) contains most likely unconstitutional/EU-incompatible sections to do so. And the coalition then failed less than a month after that.
Of course, large parts of the party base don’t agree, and the last party conference showed that.
