A Federal Foreign Office Spokesperson issued the following statement today (30 December 2025) on China's recent military exercises around Taiwan:
We are concerned about China's recent military exercises around Taiwan. The exercises heighten tensions and undermine stability in the Taiwan Strait.

Any change to the status quo should only come about by peaceful means and mutual consent. The German Government calls for restraint and dialogue.
