Tbh, this makes perfect sense when you think about it. China's current position is one where they need to focus on their own development, and also resist the imperial ambitions of foreign powers, namely the US and Europe. So when it comes to Merkel, the fact that she leads the most powerful country in Europe and is refusing to choose a side between China and the USA ultimately helps China because it means they won't have to worry about the threat of European imperialism, on top of also being able to continue trading with Europe, which helps China to continue its development. So, for as much as Merkel may suck from our perspective, from the perspective of Chinese people and the CPC, she probably represents one of the best case scenarios available to China at the moment.
