Federal government states
Because a Chinese ship is said to have directed a laser on a German aircraft, there is diplomatic upset. Beijing rejects the allegations. But Berlin speaks of clear indications.
Despite the contradiction from Beijing, the federal government states that a Chinese warship has used a laser against a German aircraft. A spokeswoman for the Federal Foreign Office emphasized in Berlin that the order of the Chinese ambassador was “certainly not lightly”, but was based on existing findings and basic examinations. The Federal Ministry of Defense also spoke of “clear indications” for such a laser use.
According to German information, a Chinese warship had directed a laser in the Red Sea in the Red Sea in the Red Sea without reason and prior contact. Because of this incident, the Chinese ambassador Deng Hongbo had literally been ordered into the Federal Foreign Office. This measure is considered a sharp diplomatic means.
China now contradicted the German representation. She did not match the facts known to the Chinese side, it was said from the Foreign Office in Beijing.
