The article describes Chinese geopolitics from a Chinese perspective. Three characteristics of Chinese geopolitics are highlighted: internal orientation, the desire to rely on the neighboring environment, and the increasing global influence. China aims to establish good neighborly relations in order to overcome its decades-long hostility with Russia. There are territorial conflicts with various countries, but China seeks good neighborly relations without interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. China is strengthening its naval defense capabilities and has a growing global economic and political influence. China actively participates in UN peacekeeping missions and advocates for an international order in which the UN and international law play a central role. [Extracted from the article]

The article "The 'Turning Point' and the Foreign Policy of the Traffic Light Coalition Government" analyzes the foreign policy of the German traffic light coalition government under Chancellor Scholz. The government pursues a values-oriented foreign policy that is primarily directed against China. Germany sees itself as an ascended European and global power and assumes a special responsibility for the EU and democratic values. The traffic light coalition government aims for a global leadership role for Germany and emphasizes the importance of the EU as its basis. Nevertheless, there continues to be a natural partnership between China and Germany due to their shared interest in globalization. It is recommended that Germany seeks dialogue with China and does not pursue a policy of decoupling. The "Democracies versus Autocracies" foreign policy of the traffic light coalition government in cooperation with the Biden administration is considered a strategic mistake. It is hoped that Sino-German relations will develop positively. [Extracted from the article]
