Berlin, February 10 (Xinhua) — The world has entered a period of "destruction politics," in which widespread destruction has become commonplace. This is according to a report by experts at the Munich Security Conference, published here on Monday.

The report, titled "Under the Shattering," aims to set the tone for the upcoming Munich Security Conference. This annual event, scheduled for later this week, is expected to bring together approximately 50 heads of state and government, as well as hundreds of decision-makers and opinion leaders.

According to the report, the current US administration is seen as the most prominent actor (declaring its intention) to break free from the constraints of the existing order. This has led to the international order, which the US itself spearheaded after 1945, now being in a state of disintegration.

In his foreword to the report, conference chair Wolfgang Ischinger noted that the attention this year's conference is attracting is not only a reflection of the numerous conflicts and crises dominating the global agenda, but also a result of the changing role of the United States in the international system.

The report notes that political forces that prefer destruction to reform are gaining strength in many Western societies, driven by disillusionment with the functioning of democratic institutions and a loss of confidence in policy adjustment.

However, the report cautions that it remains unclear whether such disruption will create the conditions for policies that enhance security, prosperity, and freedom. Instead, the world may witness a shift toward transactional deals over principled cooperation, private interests over the public good, and regional hegemons over universal norms.

Beijing, February 10 (Xinhua) — If Japan truly wants to develop strategic, mutually beneficial relations with China, it must demonstrate its sincerity in dialogue with concrete actions, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a regular ministry press conference on Tuesday.

The Chinese diplomat made the statement while commenting, at the media's request, on reports that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi announced on Monday that the country remains open to dialogue with China. She previously caused a stir last November with her comments about Taiwan.

"The matter is simple and clear: Japan should reverse Sanae Takaichi's erroneous remarks about Taiwan and abide by the provisions of the four political documents signed by both countries and the political commitments they have made," Lin Jian said.

"True dialogue must be based on mutual respect and adherence to common agreements. No one will agree to dialogue if the other side continues to call for dialogue while simultaneously engaging in confrontation," he concluded.

Frankfurt, February 10 (Xinhua) — German small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are showing a sharp decline in interest in doing business in the United States, with some now holding negative views, according to a survey published Monday.

According to a DZ Bank survey of more than a thousand medium-sized enterprises, US tariffs are having a broad impact on German companies: 12 percent of respondents reported a direct impact, and 44 percent an indirect impact through customers and suppliers.

German SME sentiment toward the US has also deteriorated significantly. Only 9 percent of surveyed companies said they could imagine the US playing a more important role in their supply chains over the next five years, a 3 percentage point decrease from the previous survey. Meanwhile, 18 percent expect the US market to play a smaller role, double the share recorded in the 2024 survey.

“No other country has experienced such a sharp decline in popularity in DZ Bank surveys since 2022,” writes the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in a commentary on the survey results.

According to DZ Bank economist Klaus Nigsch, the growing reluctance to include the US in supply chains affects virtually all sectors and companies of all sizes.

More than half of German companies are adjusting their business strategies in response to increased uncertainty, focusing more on domestic markets and greater diversification, the bank adds. –0–
