Germany says “nein” at Ramstein & China ...

The Telegraph
About this episode

Day: 331. Today, as the long-awaited Ramstein summit begins, we discuss the very latest political manoeuvrings in Germany and elsewhere – from the latest military donations to Ukraine, to the war of words fast-developing within the European alliance against Russian aggression.

Plus, it’s Chinese New Year on Sunday, so an opportune moment to re-focus our attention to a country playing an increasingly important role in the war. We talk again to the Telegraph’s China Correspondent, Sophia Yan.
