(Berlin Composite Electric) Germany proposed a national security strategy for the first time in response to the increasing military, economic and geopolitical threats.The German government calls Russia's biggest threat and warns China to try to use its economic strength to achieve political goals.
The German Federal Cabinet approves this 76 -page national security strategy on Wednesday (June 14).The Prime Minister Tsurtz subsequently held a press conference with four ministers in charge of national defense, diplomacy, finance, and internal affairs to introduce the strategic book.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has enabled Germany to pay more attention to the ability of armed forces to prepare for war, and German foreign policy is more inclined to put national security on economic benefits.Shuoerz said that the German security policy has changed significantly, "the concept of security from a single military strategy to the overall security."
Strategic Book: "Today's Russia, in the foreseeable future, is the biggest threat of peace and security in the European Atlantic zone." "We are in an increasingly polarized era.Systematic confrontation views, reshaping the existing international order. "
Refers to China attempting to reshape international order but acknowledge the partnership between the two countries
The German government has also accused China of "intentionally using its economic strength to achieve political purposes, and said that China has made" regional stability and international security bearing increasing pressure, and human rights are not respected. "
Strategic book writes: "China is trying to reshape the current rules -based international order in various ways. China more strongly declare the dominant position in the region and repeatedly make actions that contrary to our interests and values."/P>
Although Germany is called "competitors and systemic opponents", it also recognizes that China is their "partner". Without China, "many international challenges and crises will not be resolved."
Tsugs was asked at a press conference that what kind of information should be conveyed to Beijing? He responded: "The Chinese economy will continue to grow, and China should not be affected into the world trade and world economic relations."However, Germany cannot ignore the security of China, and he emphasizes that Germany should reduce risks.
The German government will take another strategic book on China. As for when, Tonus answered "soon."
Copy climate change to reduce the supply of other countries
The newly announced national security strategy also refers to the response to climate change, reducing relying on other countries to supply commodities, encouraging domestic enterprises to retain strategic resources to avoid the energy crisis again.
The German government originally intentionally imitated the establishment of the National Security Council in the United States and the United Kingdom, but for which department the committee should belong to, the internal opinions of the ruling alliance were different, and the plan was finally failed.
After the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine War, the German government promised to significantly increase national defense expenses.At present, the German defense budget is about 1.5%of the GDP, and the national security strategy commitment will increase this proportion to 2%.Financial Minister Lindona said at the above -mentioned press conference that the government plans to achieve the military expenditure goal from next year.
