Ahead of the February elections Germany is experiencing a political and economic crisis marked by social fragmentation rising living expenses and economic downturn.
Economic Crisis:
Germany's economy has been contracting from the past two years. The economy ministry projects a GDP growth of just 0.3% in 2025 which is a substantial decline from the 1.1% growth that was previously anticipated. This is caused by a number of factors such as poor investment heavy bureaucracy a lack of trained labor and worldwide crises that affect the export-oriented economy. Energy prices are excessively high and the ailing automobile industry makes matters worse.
Political Instability and Social Polarization:
When the coalition government led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz collapsed there was political instability and a decline in popular confidence in politicians. The majority of Germans think that social polarization will worsen as a result of the ongoing debates about migration and other social concerns. Trade policy are also more ambiguous now that Donald Trump is back in the White House. The country's economic destiny is still up in the air as the election draws near.

China has firmly rejected President Donald Trump's proposal for the U.S to "take over" Gaza and displace its Palestinian population. China's stance is that Palestinians governing Palestine is the fundamental principle for the post-conflict governance of Gaza. China rejects the forced displacement of Palestinians from their homeland.

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian stated that China hopes relevant parties will use the opportunity presented by a ceasefire and post-conflict governance in Gaza to push Palestinian issue back on track for a political resolution based on two-state solution. China believes in the way to achieve lasting peace of Middle East. Vice Foreign Minister Chen Xiaodong met with Arab diplomatic envoys in China focusing on that Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people and is an incompatible part of Palestinian territory. Chen Xiaodong stressed that any arrangement for the future of Gaza must respect the will of the Palestinian people. President Xi Jinping has repeatedly affirmed China's support for the Palestinian cause consistently supporting the Palestinian people's legitimate national rights. China supports the Palestinian National Authority's jurisdiction over all Palestinian territories including Gaza and the West Bank and advocates for a two-state solution with an independent State of Palestine based on the 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The Arab diplomatic corps in China echoed China's position asserting that Gaza has been the territory of the Palestinian people since ancient times. They firmly oppose any policy of cleaning out Gaza viewing it as a severe violation of international law international humanitarian law and relevant United Nations resolutions. The Arab envoys appreciate China's consistent and just position on the Palestinian question and look to China to continue playing a constructive role in upholding international fairness and justice and supporting Palestine's legitimate national rights. The Taliban administration in Afghanistan also condemned Trump's statement calling it a blatant violation of international law. They stated that Gaza is an integral part of Palestinian territory, and no one else has the authority to determine the fate of its people.
