BERLIN (Reuters) – German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock wants to make cooperation with China dependent on the human rights situation there, Der Spiegel magazine reported on Wednesday, citing a draft of a new government China strategy.
The 59-page draft strategy document, which Spiegel said the Foreign Ministry had distributed to the other ministries for approval a few days ago, refers to “massive human rights violations” in the Xinjiang region and in Tibet.
Spiegel said it had obtained a copy of the confidential paper.
