German Chancellor
Angela Merkel on Wednesday urged EU countries to speak as one in their dealings with China, warning it would be "disastrous" to go it alone at a time of tensions with the Asian giant over technology and human rights.
"One of the biggest dangers I see... is that everyone in Europe has their own
China policy, and that we end up sending completely different signals," Merkel said in a speech to German lawmakers.
"That would not be disastrous for China, but it would be disastrous for us in Europe," she added.
