Chinese internet freedom questioned
Li, the Culture and Media representative of the Chinese Politbureau, was also due to meet German President Horst Koehler during his trip to Berlin.
Beijing’s attempts to prevent internet users from accessing websites deemed politically sensitive have been dubbed the “Great Firewall” of China.
Westerwelle also asked for Germany’s international broadcaster, Deutsche Welle, to be made freely accessible in China, in the same way that Chinese state television, CCTV, was available in Germany.
The leaders addressed Iran’s controversial nuclear programme, which has been the subject of discussion amongst heads of state and government at a nuclear security summit in Washington, US.
Westerwelle stressed Iran’s right to use nuclear power for peaceful purposes, but insisted it was unacceptable for Tehran to acquire nuclear weapons, according to a statement issued by his ministry.
The foreign minister said the international community could not stand idly by if Iran continued in its refusal to cooperate.
